Correct Answer During a scuffle

Correct option is 1.

‘during a fighting’ is wrong English and the correct phrase would be ‘during a fight’. Since, its not in the options the closest to meaning of the underlined phrase is ‘ during a scuffle’( which means a short fight at close quarters ). Hence, it is the correct phrase to be used.

Option 2 is incorrect because a quarrel is argument and not a physical fight (which is intended to be said in the above statement).

Option 3 too will be incorrect if used over here as it does not match the intended meaning of underlined phrase.

Correct sentence:

A 33 year old Ghana National was killed during a scuffle with the police on Thursday night.
