at

B

C

D

Solution
Answer : D

Prepositions are words that indicate relationships with the other words in the sentence, and quite often they tell us about then "when" and "where" aspects.
Let's look at what the various alternatives mean:
- at : It is used to a precise & small location / event
- like : It means "similar to" / having similar characteristics or qualities
- on : It is used to refer to a surface / public transport / TV / Radio / Internet / Map / Farm / Island / Holiday
- by : It is used to "not later than" / at or before / to identify the agent performing an action
By reviewing the usages of various alternatives, it is clear that "on" is the most appropriate word.

Thus, the correct complete sentence is:
I spoke to her ON the phone last week.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with most appropriate word.
My brother has a car __ yours.

A
Likes

B
Such

C
Like

D
As

Solution

Option C is correct as the usage of ‘like’ would bring out the sense of similarity in the sentence. ‘Like’ as a preposition means ‘having the same characteristics or qualities as’. Here, it is completing the meaning of the sentence by bringing out the sense of similarity between one person’s car and another person’s car. Option B and Option D cannot be used as they would render the sentence grammatically incorrect. Option A cannot be used as the sentence does not require a verb.

Option A)in/ with is correct as in and with indicate a place and company. The other options are wrong as at, of, and on indicate a specific location, possession, and a surface respectively. These uses don't fit in the given question. The correct answer is A)in/ with.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
We lived in Bristol _____ three years.

A
last

B
for

C
at

D
in

Solution

The sentence tells about the time period for which the person lived in Bristol.
For is a preposition which denotes a time period. Three years is a period. So, for is the correct answer.
Usage of 'at' denotes location or a specific time, whereas we have a time period.
Usage of 'last' could have been correct if there was 'for' before it; "for last three years"
Usage of 'in' here denotes that the person had lived 'in' three years and we can't live 'in' years.
So, option A, C and D are incorrect and B is correct.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with most appropriate word.
My wife has found a job _____ a personal assistant.

A
Likes

B
As-as

C
Like

D
As

Solution

Option D is the correct option here because the sentence shows the function of ‘a personal assistant.’ Hence, ‘as’ and not ‘like’ would be used here because apart from stating comparison, “as” can also be used to state “role” or “function”. So, Option C cannot be used in this sentence. Option A cannot be used as the sentence does not require a verb. Option B cannot be used as it would render the sentence incorrect.
