Question and options
Direction: Fill in the blanks.
After many years of research, they found the solution _____
After many years of research, they found the solution _____
- at last
- at the end
- by the end
- on the end
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - at last
'At last' means finally, after a long time or effort, which fits 'after many years of research'. 'At the end' and 'by the end' need an 'of' phrase to say the end of what, and 'on the end' refers to a physical position, so none of them completes the sentence.
