Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
He became the Governor of a Province ________.

• A. by and large
• B. in the course of time
• C. at times
• D. little by little

Answer 1

The correct option is B in the course of time

Option B is the correct answer because "in the course of time" means as time goes by, as in, along with time, so with time he became the Governor of the Province.

Option A is incorrect because "by and large" means on the whole, everything considered, which doesn't fit in to the fact that he became the governor with time.

Option C is incorrect because "at times" means sometimes, or at occasional times, which is incorrect because he doesn't become the governor at times or occasionally.

Option D is incorrect for the same reasons as option C.
