Question

 Choose the most appropriate option to correct the given sentence:
Ghana is a seaport in gulf at Guinea.

• A. Ghana is the seaport in gulf of Guinea.
• B. Ghana is the seaport at gulf of Guinea.
• C. Ghana is the seaport on gulf of Guinea
• D. The Ghana is a seaport in gulf of Guinea.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To correct the sentence "Ghana is a seaport in gulf at Guinea," we need to focus on the correct usage of the articles, prepositions, and specific names. Here is the step-by-step reasoning to find the appropriate option:

1. Use the definite article "the": The sentence needs the definite article "the" before "seaport" because we are referring to a specific location, the Gulf of Guinea. Therefore, the correct form should be "Ghana is the seaport...".
2. Correct preposition "on": Typically, when referring to geographic formations like "Gulf," the correct preposition is "on" because a seaport is located on the coast of a gulf. Therefore, the phrase should be "on the Gulf of Guinea."
3. Use the correct geopolitical name: Ensure that the geopolitical name "Gulf of Guinea" is accurately referenced with the preposition "of" to indicate possession.
4. Considering these points, the correct sentence should read: "Ghana is the seaport on the Gulf of Guinea."

Thus, the correct option is: Ghana is the seaport on gulf of Guinea.

Let's discuss why other options are not suitable:

• Option 1: "Ghana is the seaport in gulf of Guinea." - The preposition "in" is incorrect for a geographical location like a gulf.
• Option 2: "Ghana is the seaport at gulf of Guinea." - While "at" can be used for places, "on" is more appropriate for coasts or shores.
• Option 4: "The Ghana is a seaport in gulf of Guinea." - Incorrect article usage ("The Ghana") and wrong preposition ("in").
