Fill Blanks

Question:

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate option:-

So quickly did we walk that we reached the station ….. time.

Options:

on

at

in

for

Correct Answer:

in

Explanation:

The correct option to fill in the blanks is in.

The sentence is about the speaker's quick walk to the station. The preposition "in" is used to indicate a period of time. It is the most appropriate preposition to use in this context, as it describes the fact that the speaker reached the station in a short period of time.

The other options are not as appropriate:

  • On is used to indicate a point in time. It is not as appropriate as "in", as it does not convey the same sense of duration.
  • At is used to indicate a specific location. It is not as appropriate as "in", as it does not convey the same sense of speed or urgency.
  • For is used to indicate a purpose or reason. It is not as appropriate as "in", as it does not convey the same sense of swiftness.
