b. 2
c. 3

ANSWER: 3
Use of '
of time' and
'period' together is incorrect.
The correct expression should be 'for a short time' or 'for a short period'.
The correct sentence should be: They stayed in Nagpur
for a short time and then returned home.
Similarly,
| Don't use | Use |
|---|
| During the period of war | During the war |
| The war period |
