Multiple choice

Directions: Choose the appropriate option to complete the following sentence.

We got into the port …….. the storm came on.

  1. next

  2. ahead

  3. before

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence describes sequence: entering the port occurred, then the storm started. 'Before' (C) correctly establishes this temporal sequence - we got into the port before the storm came. 'Next' (A) suggests immediately following (wrong direction). 'Ahead' (B) means in front/advanced position. 'None of these' is incorrect since 'before' fits perfectly.
