(A) & (C) Only

Correct Answer:

(B) & (D) Only

Explanation:

The correct answer is OPTION 2 --(B) & (D) Only

A) "Suresh went there with my bike."

  • Error: The correct preposition here should be "on" instead of "with." So, the corrected sentence would be "Suresh went there on my bike."

(B) "She was ruled out of the match due to a foot injury."

  • Correct: This sentence uses the preposition "due to" correctly to indicate the reason for being ruled out.

(C) "We travelled into my friends car."

  • Error: The correct preposition here should be "in" instead of "into." So, the corrected sentence would be "We traveled in my friend's car."

(D) "The country he grew up in didn't make it easy for its people to live in luxury."

  • Correct: This sentence uses the preposition "in" correctly to indicate the location where he grew up.

Therefore, the sentences with the correct use of prepositions are (B) and (D).
