Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. from one generation through a next.

  • The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
  • Here, preposition 'to' should be used instead of 'through'.
  • We know that 'from one generation to the next' means 'to pass from one generation to the next'.
  • Also, the preposition 'from' is followed by 'to'.

Correct Sentence: Mithila art tradition is passed on from one generation to a next by children watching and helping their mothers and grandmothers.
