The unexpected turn beside the project put the company in a big financial crisis.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. in the project.

The correct option to substitute the underlined segment "beside the project" is "in the project."

So, the corrected sentence would be: "The unexpected turn in the project put the company in a big financial crisis."

This change maintains the intended meaning, indicating that the unexpected turn relates directly to the project itself, rather than being located next to it.
