Question

In the sentence given below, one word has been omitted. Choose the option that has the missing word along with the words that come before and after it:

A large number spiders inhabit our environment.

• A. Inhabit around our
• B. Inhabit in our
• C. Number of spiders
• D. Number in spiders

Answer 1

The correct option is C Number of spiders

In the given line, the word omitted should come after the word 'number'.

So, options A) and B) are incorrect. The part of the sentence 'inhabit our environment' is correct.

Between the options C) and D), 'number of spiders' is correct while 'number in spiders' is incorrect. When we talk about number, we use the preposition 'of' and not 'in'. So, the correct answer is C) number of spiders.
