Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer :

This question is based on phrasal verbs.

Cambridge English Dictionary defines "phrasal verbs" as "a phrase that consists of a verb with a preposition or adverb or both, the meaning of which is different from the meaning of its separate parts."

"Ring in" is a phrasal verb which means "to celebrate the beginning of (something, such as a new year) ." (According to Merriam Webster Dictionary)

So, the correct sentence is :

Let us ring in the New Year with gaiety.
