Read the given notice and fill in the correct preposition for blank [26].

A
At

B
On

C
Up

D
To

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 D is the most appropriate to fill the bank no. 26 before the word, '10th June'.
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 A 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 B is incorrect.
The preposition, 'up' indicates 'from a lower to a higher point of (something)'. Eg: She climbed up the mountain. Given this meaning, option C is incorrect.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate preposition.
It was too hot to stand ___________ the sun.

A
Under

B
Below

C
In

D
Into

Solution

The word, 'in' is a preposition which expresses the situation of a noun being enclosed or surrounded by something. The phrase, 'in the sun' means surrounded by sunshine all around. The word, 'under' means 'at a lower level than'.
When we talk about being outdoors in the sunshine, the phrase, 'in the sun' is used. The phrase, 'under the sun' is normally used as an idiom. It emphasizes that there is a large number of something or 'as many as you can imagine'. Eg: 'I have tried all the possible solutions under the sun, but unable to solve the problem'.
Hence, option C is correct and option A is not correct.

The word, 'below' means 'at a lower level or layer'. The word, 'below' is used to talk about the level of something on a flat plane. If there is a star in the sky at a lower level than the sun, we would say, 'The star is located just below the sun'. However, the expression 'below the sun' cannot be used to describe the position of someone standing on the earth. Hence, option B is incorrect.
The word, 'into' is a preposition, which means 'to or toward the inside of (something)'. Eg: 'She walked into the room'. This preposition, 'into' is not used along with the verb, 'stand'. The phrase, 'stand into the sun' does not convey any meaning. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate prepositions:
The police warned the people ____ pickpockets.

A
For

B
Against

C
Of

D
An

Solution

Here, 'of' is correct because it implies relating to somebody, here it is the pickpockets.
'For' is incorrect because it is used to show who is intended to have or use something or where something is intended to be put.
'Against' is incorrect because it implies opposing or disagreeing with somebody/something.
'An' is grammatically incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition.
He was _______ to finish, but the bell rang.

A
against

B
above

C
about

D
at

Solution

The expression ‘about to’ is used before another verb to mean that someone was on the verge of doing something. In the given sentence, the person was going to almost finish what he was doing, but unfortunately, the bell rang before that. Hence ‘about’ is the apt answer in the given context. Thus option C is correct. On the other hand, the prepositions ‘against’, ‘above’ and ‘at’ are used to denote a place/position. They are not used along with the preposition ‘to’ to form an expression. These prepositions cannot be used alongside ‘to' either since it would be grammatically incorrect, therefore options A, B and D are incorrect.

A
From

B
To

C
For

D
On

Solution

In the given sentence with blank no.28, the names of the students who are interested in joining the trekking trip are being collected by the teacher. Hence, the appropriate preposition which can fill the blank no. 28 is 'to'.
The preposition, 'to' is used for showing who receives or experiences an action. The phrase, 'give their names to their class teacher' is correct as it shows that the teacher receives the action of 'giving the names'. Hence, option B is correct.
The preposition, 'from' indicates the point in time at which a particular process, event, or activity starts. It also indicates the origin of something. The word, 'teacher' does not indicate the origin of anything. Given these meanings, it cannot be used in the given sentence. Hence, option A is incorrect.
The preposition, 'for' means 'intended to help or benefit someone/something'. It is also used to state the purpose of an object or action. The 'giving of names does not benefit the teacher. The teacher is not the purpose of 'giving the names' either. Hence, option C is incorrect.
The preposition, 'on' means 'physically in contact with and supported by (a surface)'. Given this meaning, this preposition is not appropriate to fill the blank no. 28. Hence, option D is incorrect.
