Explanation
Answer: B - The meeting lasted until the wee hours of the morning, as the City Council members sought to work in everyone’s requests. The original sentence shows a non-idiomatic preposition after the verb. If you review the original sentence, it reads as if the council members were actually “in” the requests.
