Choose the option that best corrects the sentence.

• B. In his summer holidays, he visited Falkirk in Scotland where William Wallace lost the battle against the English.
• C. He visited Falkirk in Scotland, where against the English, William Wallace lost the battle in his summer holidays.
• D. NO CHANGE

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

In his summer holidays, he visited Falkirk in Scotland where William Wallace lost the battle against the English.

Since "he visited ...Scotland" is qualified by "where...English", these should be placed together, hence Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not place the qualifying clauses together, hence incorrect.
