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

‘With’ is used for a person and ‘by’ is used for an object. Therefore, (A) is incorrect. (B) is incorrect due to a syntax error. One sits ‘beside’ the other; ‘besides’ refers to ‘other than’. (C) has no error. (D) has a subject verb disagreement; (‘was far less important’ should replace ‘were far less important’). Hence, it is also incorrect.
