Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: over.
The word “over” is used to indicate a range or amount that is greater than a specific number. In this case, the speaker is saying that more than 50 newspapers have closed this year.
The other options are not as accurate. The word “in” is used to indicate a specific location or time. The word “of” is used to indicate possession or a part of something. The word “about” is used to indicate a rough estimate or approximation.
In conclusion, the correct answer to the question “They have closed . . . . . . . . 50 newspapers this year.” is “over.”
