"in" is used to talk about the position of someone or something inside large places such as countries, continents etc.

"at" is used to talk about the position of someone or something inside small places such as hotel, pub, small towns etc.

Here, 'put up with' is a right phrase.
Surabhi said:   7 years ago
Right phase at the replacement of 'put up' is?

Why option A is correct? Please explain me.
Yashika said:   7 years ago
I think D is incorrect because when an an article is used before only one noun or thing then verb must be sigular.

Here in the given sentence it is "the boarding and lodging charges" so the D should be "was exorbitant".

We can't use "in" before hotel it must be at hotel.
Neeraj said:   7 years ago
Yes, put up at hotel should use instead of put up in hotel. As at is the prepositional word and it is used for the proper place.

Eg:- I am in my room.

He is at the hotel room no 7 etc.
