Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution’.
Holi is a festival of revelry and camaraderie which is celebrated between the country.

A.

No substitution

B.

celebrated at the country

C.

celebrated upon the country

D.

celebrated across the country

Correct option is D

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (d) celebrated across the country.
Explanation:
The phrase “between the country” is grammatically incorrect because “between” is used for two entities. In the context of describing the widespread celebration of a festival throughout a nation, the preposition "across" is more appropriate. “Celebrated across the country” means it is celebrated throughout the length and breadth of the country.
Grammatical rule used:
➡ Use ‘across’ when referring to something happening over the entire area of a region/place.
Example:
✅ Diwali is celebrated across India with great enthusiasm.
�� Brain Booster:
✔ "Across" = Over a wide area.
✔ "Between" is used for two people/things.
✔ "Among" is used for more than two people/things.
