Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e hangs over.
Statement: On winter evenings, a haze of smog hang in Delhi.
Correct statement: On winter evenings, a haze of smog hangs over Delhi.
The use of the phrasal verb is grammatically incorrect.
Hang in means remain persistent and determined in difficult circumstances.
Hang over means to worry about it or feel upset about it.
Hang up means to stop doing a particular sport or activity that they have regularly done over a long period.
So, the correct phrasal verb hang over should be used as haze in winter evenings is a thing to worry about.
