- The sentence is: "People have dug (3)______ monuments and collected artefacts for thousands of years."
- Let's check each option:
- in: "dug in monuments" – awkward and not commonly used.
- ahead: "dug ahead monuments" – incorrect and doesn't make sense.
- over: "dug over monuments" – incorrect usage for this context.
- up: "dug up monuments" – this is the correct idiom for discovering or unearthing something from the ground.
- Correct Answer: Option:4 – up
- Explanation:
- "Dug up" means to excavate or remove something from beneath the surface, which fits perfectly here.
- The rest of the passage shows how people have searched for artefacts by excavating ancient sites.
- Other options either change the meaning or make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
