Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. internationals events at highly standard.
The given sentence seems to have multiple errors in terms of subject-verb agreement, preposition usage, and article usage:
- Firstly, the phrase "had only" should come before "one venue" for the correct meaning. Also, the word "highly" is not the correct word to use in this context. Instead, "a high standard" should be used to convey the intended meaning.
- Secondly, the preposition "for" should be used after the word "events" for the correct preposition usage.
- Finally, the indefinite article "a" should be used before "high standard" to indicate that only one standard is being referred to.
Thus, the correct sentence is:
"Other South African cities had only one venue for staging exhibitions or international events at a high standard."
