Eggs are sold by the dozen.
Explanation:
-
At: This preposition doesn't fit the context. "At" is used to indicate a location or a specific point in time, which isn't relevant to the phrase "sold by the dozen."
-
By: This preposition is the correct choice. It indicates the method or means of selling – in this case, eggs are sold as a unit of a dozen.
-
In: This preposition doesn't fit the context either. "In" is used to indicate being within something or during a specific time period, neither of which applies here.
-
To: This preposition doesn't fit the context. "To" is used to indicate direction or recipients, which doesn't make sense in the context of selling eggs by the dozen.
