New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: we arrived to the camp
Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.
Explanation: The preposition "to" is incorrect in this context. When we talk about arriving at a place or location, we use the preposition "at" not "to". "At" is used to indicate a specific location where someone arrives.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: After a long trek through the forest, we arrived at the camp around 8 p.m.
