in this challenging times

This phrase is incorrect. The preposition "in" should be followed by "these" instead of "this."

The correct phrase is "in these challenging times." Use "in" to indicate being within a specific period or situation, and use "these" to refer to a specific set of times.

This phrase is incorrect. The preposition "on" is not typically used to refer to a specific period or situation.

Avoid using "on" to refer to a specific period or situation. Instead, use prepositions like "in," "during," or "amid" to convey being within or experiencing a particular time.
