Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error of parallelism. The 'length' and the 'breadth' are in the same form, but 'high' is not. Thus, the correct sentence should replace 'it was three meters high' by 'the height was three meters'.
