The correct answer is 'of'.
 
Key Points
  • The preposition "of" is used when referring to something related to or connected with a particular subject.
  • In this sentence, the old man is dreaming "of the past," which indicates that his dreams are related to memories of the past.
  • Other options: "in," "at," and "to" do not fit the context of the sentence.

​Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Complete Sentence: The old man kept dreaming of the past.

Additional Information
  • In: Indicates location or position within something, e.g., "in the room."
  • At: Refers to a specific point or place, e.g., "at the park."
  • To: Indicates direction or movement toward something, e.g., "to the store."
