The correct answer is Option C.

Read the given notice and fill in the correct preposition for blank [25].

A
From

B
For

C
On

D
At

Solution

The given notice is to inform students about a trekking trip to Nathu Pass which is being organised for the students of tenth standard. There are two dates mentioned in the sentence i.e. 1st June and 10th June. These are likely to be the starting and the ending dates of the trekking trip.
The preposition, 'from' indicates the point in time at which a particular process, event, or activity starts. The preposition, 'to' indicates the point in time until which a particular event or activity continues and then ends. Hence, the phrase, 'from 1st June to 10th June' indicates an activity or event which starts on 1st June and ends on 10th June. Hence, option A is the most appropriate to fill the bank no. 25 before the word, '1st June'.
The preposition, 'for' is used with a period of time to indicate the duration i.e how long an event or activity takes place. The given blank is followed by a date (1st June) and not a duration of time (Eg: ten days). Hence, option B is incorrect.
The preposition, 'on' is used with a date to indicate the exact date when an event or an activity happens. In the given sentence, the trekking event does not happen on a single date. It is a long trip which happens over a period of ten days. Hence, option C is incorrect.
The preposition, 'at' expresses the location or arrival in a particular place or position. It also expresses the time when an event takes place. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate preposition:
Henry Ford was born ___ the 30th July 1863.

A
Above

B
In

C
Across

D
On

Solution

Here, 'on' is correct because it is used to show a day or date, here it is 30th July 1863.
'Above' is incorrect because it implies at or to a higher place or position than something/somebody.
'In' is incorrect because it implies at a point within an area or a space.
'Across' is incorrect because it implies from one side to the other side.

Read the given notice and fill in the correct preposition for blank [23].

A
On

B
For

C
To

D
From

Solution

The preposition, 'for' means 'intended to help or benefit someone/something'. In the given sentence, it is indicated that the summer vacation is being organised for the benefit of the students of the tenth standard. Hence, the preposition, 'for' is most appropriate to fill the blank no. 23 and option B is correct.
The preposition, 'on' means 'physically in contact with and supported by (a surface)'. Eg: Isha stood on the table. The word, 'on' is also used to show when something happens. Eg: The school is closed on Sundays. Given these meanings, this word cannot be used in blank no. 23. Option A is incorrect.
The preposition, 'to' expresses motion in the direction of (a particular location). Eg: We are going to Shimla this summer. The word, 'to' is also used for identifying the person or thing affected by or receiving something. Eg: She narrated the whole incident to him. Given these meanings, this word cannot be used in blank no. 23 and option C is incorrect.
The preposition, 'from' is used to indicate the point in time at which a particular process, event or activity starts. It also is used to indicate the point in space at which a journey, motion, or action starts. As this word is used before the word, 'students' and does not indicate a point in time or space, this is not the appropriate preposition which can be used in the given blank. Hence, option D is incorrect.
