Read the each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is 'D'. (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any).

"I could not put up at a hotel because the boarding and lodging charges were exorbitant" means "I could not stay at hotel as the charges are so high".
We can use board also as per UK format. But as per Asians knowledge, we generally use boarding and lodging only.

I could not put up in a hotel is correct, but in this sentence look like that already knows of hotel and boarding charges so "I could not put up at a hotel" for exact.

"could not put up in a hotel" Now no one stays in full hotel one stays in single room so
"I could not put up in a room" is correct however "could not put up at hotel" specifying a perticular hotel which is having high boarding and lodging rate.

I think all of you does not know english rule, option c is incorrect because boardin and lodging are singular noun hence we use 'was ' there.
Ritika said:

@gopal: its for charges we are using "were" not for boarding and lodging.

Can somebody tell me the difference between 'in' and 'at'
Vertika said:

'in' is used where we refer to some particular place. 'at' is used where we refer to something big. Like for eg. He lives "in Gomti Nagar" "at Lucknow".

Why not ans B? why not "because of the boarding and lodging charges"?

We use "at" whn we r far from tht place and "in" is used whn we r inside tht place.
Eg.-I was supposed to meet her at the corner, but I found her in the drugstore.

For particular places we should use 'at', but not 'in'.
Amit Raghuwanshi said:

Yes Ashok, we use 'on the roof' and 'at the bus stop' so use of these words differ by means of position.

Use the word'in' when you are discussing cities, towns, and countries
Use the word 'at' when speaking about direction, street addresses, or position.
Dorothy lives in Kansas City.
She works at the market
