Grammar: Preposition

Question:

Fill in the blank with an appropriate preposition in the following sentence.

The boy fell _______ the roof.

Options:

under

off

of

since

Correct Answer:

off

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - off

  • "Off" is the correct preposition to use when indicating that someone or something has moved downward from a higher position, such as falling from a roof.
  • "Under": Incorrect, as it suggests being below something, not falling from it.
  • "Of": Incorrect, as it does not indicate movement or direction.
  • "Since": Incorrect, as it is used for time or cause, not spatial movement.
