Choose the sentence/s with the correct use of preposition.
A. Don't loiter about the street. B. He rules across a vast empire. C. I have not slept since yesterday. D. The little girl sat under the shade of the tree. E. The path leads in the forests.
Options:
A, B and C only
A and E only
B, C and D only
A only
Correct Answer:
B, C and D only
Explanation:
The correct answer is : Option 3: B, C, and D only
Explanation:
B. "He rules across a vast empire." - The use of "across" is appropriate here to indicate the extent or coverage of the empire.
C. "I have not slept since yesterday." - The use of "since" is correct to indicate the starting point of the time period during which the person has not slept.
D. "The little girl sat under the shade of the tree." - The use of "under" is correct to indicate the position of the little girl in relation to the tree.
Other Options are incorrect because of the following:
A. Don't loiter about the street: Not Correct Issue: The use of "about" is not the most appropriate preposition in this context. A better choice would be "around." The sentence would be more correct as "Don't loiter around the street."
E. The path leads in the forests. - Incorrect. "In" should be replaced with "into" when referring to entering a specific location.
