Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 2.
- The phrase "a Principal’s cabin" is incorrect because it suggests that Ravi is going to any principal’s cabin, rather than a specific one.
- In the context of the sentence, "the Principal’s cabin" is the correct form because it refers to a particular, specific cabin belonging to the Principal.
- Using "the" specifies that Ravi was trying to reach a specific, known location.
