Grammar: Preposition

Question:

Choose the correct preposition from the given options:-

Saaya's Institute is situated _____ the junction near the city hall.

Options:

on

at

over

in

Correct Answer:

at

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → at

  • At is used to indicate a specific or precise location, such as an address or a specific point on a map. "The junction near the city hall" is a specific location.

  • On is typically used for surfaces or to indicate something is situated on a line or street (e.g., "on the street," "on the corner"). While a junction has a surface, "at the junction" is more idiomatic for a specific point.

  • Over indicates a position above something else.

  • In is used for a larger, more general area (e.g., "in the city").
