Answer 2

Answer :

This question is based on prepositions.

Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'preposition' as 'in grammar, a word that is used before a noun, a noun phrase, or a pronoun, connecting it to another word.'

'Down' is a preposition, which according to the Cambridge English Dictionary, means 'in or towards a low or lower position, from a higher one.'

'Under' is a preposition, which according to the Cambridge English Dictionary, means 'in or to a position below or lower than something else, often so that one thing covers the other.'

In the given sentence 'The view of the downstream (1)/ and directly down the (2)/ bridge was awesome. (3)/No Error (4) ,' The error lies in part (2) 'and directly down the.'

From the above definitions, we can conclude that the preposition 'under' should be used in part (2) instead of the preposition 'down.'

So, the correct sentence is :

The view of the downstream and directly under the bridge was awesome.
