We got at touch with the bank to check out the suspect's story.

The correct answer is "Got in touch with".

Key Points

• In the underlined segment, the use of the preposition 'at' is incorrect.
• The preposition 'at' is used for expressing a particular state or condition.
• The preposition 'in' should be used in place of 'at'.
• The preposition 'in' is often followed by a noun (here, touch) without a determiner expressing a state or condition.
• The phrase "in touch with" means a state in which people communicate with one another, especially by calling or writing; a state of familiarity or being updated with a situation. (एक ऐसी स्थिति जिसमें लोग एक-दूसरे से संवाद करते हैं, विशेषकर कॉल करके या लिखकर)

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

Correct Sentence: We got in touch with the bank to check out the suspect's story.

Additional Information

• The preposition 'to' is used as an infinitive of purpose to mean 'in order to'.
