Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The error in the original sentence was the use of "in midnight", which should be corrected to "at midnight" to indicate a specific time.

"At" is the preposition commonly used to denote a specific time, including midnight. So, we would say "at midnight" to indicate the exact moment when the clock strikes 12:00 am.
