Improve the highlighted part of the sentence.
The water leaked in with a hole in the roof.

Correct option is A

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (a) through a hole.
Explanation: The phrase “with a hole” is grammatically and contextually incorrect in this sentence. The correct preposition to indicate passage or movement within something is "through", and since "hole" is singular and countable, we also need to use the article "a".
Correct sentence: The water leaked in through a hole in the roof.
Grammatical Rule Used:
Use “through” to indicate movement from one side to another within something (especially when enclosed).
· Structure: Verb + through + article + noun
· Example: The sunlight came through a window.
Information Booster:
· "With" generally implies accompaniment or possession, not passage.
· "Through" shows direction and movement across an opening.
