Choose the correct option for the blank in the given sentence:

______ studying, Radha is also passionate about dancing.

Besides

The correct answer is Option (2) → Besides

• "Besides" means "in addition to" or "apart from", which fits the sentence correctly.
• The sentence means that Radha is passionate about dancing in addition to studying.

"Besides studying, Radha is also passionate about dancing."

OTHER OPTIONS

 "Beside" → Means "next to" or "at the side of", which does not fit the context.
  "With" → Does not convey the correct meaning; it would imply that studying and dancing are done together.
  "By" → Incorrect because "by studying" would suggest that her passion for dancing comes as a result of studying, which is not the intended meaning.
