They can fly ___7___ all

A
with

B
of

C
at

D
in

Solution

The preposition ‘in’ is commonly used to speak about flying something in the sky. Since the sky is a large airy body, a person can only fly in it and not ‘with’ it or ‘at’ it. In addition to this, ‘in’ is also used as a preposition to link various seasons/weather. Thus, ‘in’ is the suitable answer, thus option D is correct. On the other hand, prepositions ‘with’ and ‘at’, as mentioned earlier, cannot be used because ‘all kinds of weather’ is neither a tool that can be used to fly nor is it a place that one can travel towards. Hence options A and B are incorrect. Similarly ‘of’ cannot be used since it shows belonging, which is not the case here. Thus, ‘of’ is inappropriate in the given context, hence option B is incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Complete the following sentence with a suitable word from the options given below.

He was _____ great pain.

A
At

B
In

C
On

D
With

Solution

From the options provided, the best preposition to fill in the blank is 'in'. This is because 'in pain' is the expression to be used here, which means that the person is feeling pain. The other options do not create grammatically apt sentences.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
The lorry crashed _________ a wall.

A
Into

B
On

C
With

D
At

Solution

The given sentence speaks about the point where the lorry crashed or hit. Therefore 'into' is the suitable answer, since 'into' is generally used to depict the point at which the subject hits somebody or something. Thus option A is correct. On the other hand 'on' is used to denote something above. Hence option B is incorrect. The preposition 'with' is used to denote a company, while 'at' is used to depict something specific. Since the sentence speaks about the crashing point, 'with' and 'at' is unsuitable in the given context. Thus they are incorrect.
Hence the completed sentence becomes: The lorry crashed into a wall.
Question 7
1 / -0

Complete the following sentence with one suitable word in the blank.

I had to rush him ___ the hospital.

A
At

B
Towards

C
For

D
To

Solution

'At' is used to refer to a specific location or time. 'Towards' is used to indicate the direction of something. 'For' is used to denote something related to purpose. 'To' denotes motion towards some location or place.
The sentence talks about rushing someone and going to the hospital. So, the best answer is option D) To.

____1___ Delhi, many people get up early

A
In

B
At

C
On

D
Of

Solution

Option B - 'At' is used to explain location. The given sentence talks about the people living in an area, and not about the location. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'On' is used to explain the position of an object or a person over something. The given sentence explains the people living in an area, thus we can't use 'on'. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Of' is used to explain possession. As 'Delhi; doesn't own its people, we can't use 'of' here. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option A - 'In' is used to explain 'inside'. As the sentence talks about the people living in Delhi, we can use 'in' here. Thus option A is the correct answer.
'In Delhi, many people get up early.'
Question 9
1 / -0

Directions For Questions

[passage-header]Fill in the numbered blank with a suitable preposition to complete the passage:[/passage-header]Long ago, there was a blind beggar ___1___ Vienna.

Every evening, he stood ___2___ the street and began singing and playing the violin.

A
in

B
with

C
at

D
for

Solution

The given sentence should be filled with a preposition of place since it speaks about ‘the street'. Prepositions ‘with’ and ‘for’ are unsuitable since the former is used to indicate a tool while the latter a reason or cause. Thus options B and D are incorrect. On the other hand ‘in’ and ‘at’ are both used to denote a place. But preposition ‘in’ is used to speak about a space or place that is within a larger area, whereas ‘at’ is used while speaking about a spot such as ‘at the corner of the street’. Since we are not given an exact position with regard to where the boy stands, ‘in’ is the suitable option. Therefore option A is correct whereas option C is incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the best option.

How did you come ____ your dog in the market ?

A
by

B
on

C
to

D
with

Solution

A preposition is a word which comes before a noun or a pronoun and establishes a relationship between the elements of a clause or words. Option A) by is correct as it is used to explain how something is done. The other options are wrong as on is used to indicate a surface, to is used to give a direction, and with is used to express inclusion of something. These uses don't fit in the given question. The correct answer is A) by.
