Answer 1

The correct answer is "trapped inside".

Key Points

The original sentence uses the phrase "trapped beside", which does not accurately convey the intended meaning.
The use of "beside" implies that the greenhouse gases are located next to the atmosphere, which is not possible.
The correct preposition to use in this context is "inside", as the greenhouse gases are trapped within the Earth's atmosphere.
Therefore, option 1 is the most appropriate substitution.

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

Additional Information

Option 3, "trapped outside", is incorrect as the greenhouse gases are not located outside of the Earth's atmosphere.
Option 4, "trapped beyond", is incorrect as it implies that the greenhouse gases are located farther away from the Earth's atmosphere than they actually are.
