    Question

    Select the option that will improve the highlighted part of the given sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select ‘No improvement required’.

    The community members as well as teachers are presently into the bus station.

    A.

    are presently on

    B.

    are present at

    C.

    No improvement required

    D.

    is present at

    Correct option is B

    The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) are present at.
    Explanation:
    · The phrase “into the bus station” is grammatically incorrect and awkward.
    · The correct preposition here is “at” when referring to location ( at the bus station).
    · The phrase “are present at” correctly expresses the current presence of the subject at the location.
    · Also, the subject is compound plural (“community members as well as teachers”), so we use are, not is.
    Grammatical rule used:
    · Use “ present at” for stating someone’s presence in a specific place.
    · Compound subjects with "as well as" are considered based on the first noun (community members – plural → verb = are).
    Example: The guests are present at the venue. The guests are into the venue.
