Correct Answer: instead off the kitchen.


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.

The correct phrase is "instead of", not "instead off". Instead of means in place of or as an alternative to something. Use "instead of" when comparing two things or options. "Off" is used to indicate separation or disconnection.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "When you're chatting on the phone, do it in the living room instead of the kitchen."
