Model Answer
| Line | Incorrect | Correct |
|------|-----------|---------|
| (2) | at | in |
| (3) | start | started |
| (4) | of | to |
Explanation
- (2) Years require the preposition "in", not "at" (e.g., in 1886).
- (3) After "had," the past participle is needed: "had started" (past perfect tense), not "had start."
- (4) The correct collocation is "admissions to" medical colleges, not "of" — "admission to" is the standard prepositional phrase.
