Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. a doctor of.
- The third part of the given sentence is erroneous in nature. The preposition 'of' is incorrectly used.
- The preposition 'of' usually talks about the qualification, the relation of an object with a noun, and for reference.
- The preposition 'at' talks about time, location, or activity.
- Thus, the preposition 'of' will be replaced by the preposition 'at'.
The correct sentence is:
He was formerly a doctor at the corporate hospital.
