General EnglishPrepositions and phrasal verbs
- A1 and 2
- B1 and 3
- C1 only
- DNone of the above
Explanation
None of the sentences is correct. Sentence 1 needs 'in time' (or 'just in time'), not 'just about time'. Sentence 2 needs 'different from' rather than 'different than' in standard British/Indian usage. Sentence 3 needs 'between' when contrasting two alternatives ('the difference between doing his duty and not doing his duty'), not 'of'. Hence 'None of the above'.
