1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable prepositional phrase:

instead of

and

Prepositional phrases are a group of words containing preposition which lacks either a verb or a subject. Such phrases always have two basic parts: object and preposition. Prepositions are mostly followed by objects.
Using option A will justify all the above rules. 'Instead of' is the preposition and 'pancakes' is the object. Hence, 'instead of pancakes' becomes the prepositional phrase.
Options B and C are not making prepositional phrases with 'pancakes'
Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Solution

Option D: 'In any way' is a prepositional phrase: 'in' is a preposition and 'any way' is the object of the preposition. It completes the sentence in meaning and hence option D is correct.
Option A: 'Or' is a conjunction and 'no' is an adverb or a noun (depending on its context). This phrase does not contain a preposition.
Option B: 'Yes' is a noun and not a preposition.
Option C: 'Not' is an adverb.
These options are not prepositions, hence they do not form prepositional phrases.
So, options A, B and C are wrong.

Using option A will justify all the above rules.
'In spite of' is the preposition and 'rains' is the object. 'In spite of rains' is a prepositional phrase.
Options B and C are not creating prepositional phrases with object 'rains'.
Thus, option A is the correct answer.
Question 9
1 / -0

Identify and use a prepositional phrase:

A
through the forest

B
jungle

C
river

D
the bridge

Solution

Prepositional phrases are a group of words containing preposition which lacks either a verb or a subject. Such phrases always have two basic parts: object and preposition. Prepositions are mostly followed by objects.

Question 10
1 / -0

Complete the sentence:
___________ his illness, Mani will pass the exam.

A
On account of

B
Inspite of

C
In the event of

D
Although

Solution

Options B and D: 'In spite of' means 'without being affected by the particular factor mentioned'.
Here, it refers to the factor 'his illness'.
It completes the sentence in meaning: 'Without being affected by his illness, Mani will pass the exam'.
'Although' also means 'in spite of the fact that'. But, 'although' is a conjunction, whereas 'in spite of' is a preposition. The noun 'illness' is the object of the preposition 'in spite of'. 'Although would be followed by a clause 'although he is ill'.
Hence this word 'although' is not suitable in form and structure, and 'in spite of' is.
So, option B is correct and D is wrong.

Option A: 'On account of' means 'because of'. It refers to reason. But, the given sentence does not express the reason: Mani will not pass the exam because he is ill.
Option C: 'In event of' means 'if ____ happens'. It refers to a hypothetical condition, with its probable result. But the given sentence does not depend on condition.
