Question

We were going to drive..... the country visiting many places

Answer 1

We were going to drive, in the country visiting many places

Answer 2

Answer :

This question is based on prepositions.

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

'Across' is a preposition, which according to the Cambridge English Dictionary, means 'from one side to the other of something with clear limits, such as an area of land, a road, or a river.'

So, the correct sentence is :

We were going to drive across the country, visiting many places.
