Questions :
The phenomenon, though unusual, can occur ___ extended drought periods.
Options :
- during
- amid
- across
- under
correct answer : d)
Explanation :
The preposition “under” is correctly used to indicate a condition or circumstance. The sentence means that the phenomenon can occur when there are extended drought conditions. Therefore, “under” is the most appropriate choice.
“During” refers to a period of time, “amid” means in the middle of, and “across” refers to movement or spread over an area, making them less suitable in this context.
