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 and C only
A only
Correct Answer:
B and C 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.
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."
D. "The little girl sat under the shade of the tree." - The use of "under" is incorrect to indicate the position of the little girl in relation to the shade of the tree.
E. The path leads in the forests. - Incorrect. "In" should be replaced with "into" when referring to entering a specific location.
