Answer : 3. "There is a hole"
Explanation :

An adverb is a word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb or a word group, expressing a relation of place, time, circumstance, manner, etc. The adverb 'there' is used to introduce the subject of a sentence, especially before the verbs be, seem, and appear. Example: There seemed to be a problem with finding a date for the meeting. Hence in the given underlined part of the sentence, the correct choice will be the 1st option i.e. There is a hole.

Answer : 3. "not only cold but also"
Explanation :

The correct sentence is:

The place was not only cold but also damp.

Explanation: In this sentence, the use of "only" and "also" is redundant. Instead, "not only...but also" is the correct correlative conjunction to use. Also, the conjunction "and" should be replaced with "but" for proper contrast between the coldness and dampness of the place.
