Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank. _______we talked about politics.
Answer: D
The correct option is 'During dinner,'.
'During' is a preposition used with a noun for a period of time within which something happens. 'While' is followed by a clause, not just a noun, and 'in dinner' and 'on dinner' are not idiomatic.
So 'During dinner, we talked about politics' is the correct sentence.
'During' is followed by a noun that names an event or a period, such as 'during the war' or 'during dinner'. 'While' needs a verb after it, for example 'while we had dinner'. 'In dinner' and 'on dinner' do not exist in English.
