Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. to John’s.
The error in the selected option is with the use of prepositions.
- Usage of to: 'To' is one of the most common prepositions in English. The preposition 'to' is also a part of the infinitive form of the verb. The preposition 'to' is also used as a preposition of movement or direction.
- The best suitable preposition in this sentence is 'with' as we use with to refer to what we use to do something.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
