Question

Fill in blank no. (3) with a suitable option:

• A. when
• B. there
• C. here
• D. where

Answer 1

The correct option is D where

The correct answer is option D.

The correct answer is the word that indicates a place that is being described at present.

Option A is incorrect because ‘when’ indicates the time and not place.

Option B is incorrect because ‘there’ indicates a place at a distance. It is not appropriate for the given context because the place described is not at a distance.
Option C is incorrect because ‘here’ indicates a nearby place and is used in the present tense. The given passage is in the past tense. Hence option C is incorrect.

Option D WHERE can be appropriately used to refer to the place where Ph.D. was done. It indicates the place that is being described at present.

Hence option D is the correct answer.
