We met a lot of people _______ our stay in Ahmedabad.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. during.
Context: The sentence talks about the time period of the stay in Ahmedabad. The correct preposition should indicate something that happened within a duration of time.
Meaning of the options:
During – refers to something that happens within a specific period of time (✔ Correct)
While – used before a subject + verb, not before a noun like "our stay"
On – used for specific days or dates, not durations
In – used for months, years, or general time references (e.g., in January, in the evening)
Correct word: During
Reason: “Our stay” is a noun phrase referring to a period of time. “During” correctly shows that meeting people happened within that time.
Final Sentence: We met a lot of people during our stay in Ahmedabad.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
