Back to paper

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.

The train will arrive with five minutes.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. in five minutes.

  •  "with five minutes" - This phrase suggests that the train will arrive while carrying or accompanied by five minutes.

  • However, this usage is not correct in this context because it doesn't convey the intended meaning.

  • "in five minutes" - To express that the train will arrive after a duration of five minutes, we use the preposition "in" followed by the time period.

So, the corrected sentence is: "The train will arrive in five minutes."
