• C. at
• D. into

Answer 1

Answer:

C. at

The sentence requires a preposition that indicates a specific location or a social occasion/event. The Rule: We use the preposition "at" when referring to attendance at a specific event, meeting, or a localized point. Examples: at a party, at a concert, at a meeting, at the entrance. The Context: The sentence describes an action (elaborating on details) that took place during a specific gathering. "At the meeting" is the standard idiomatic expression for being present during such an event. Why "at" is correct: It identifies the meeting as the specific setting where the "impressing" occurred.
