Question:

Select the most more appropriate option to fill in the blank.
Sita was standing _______ to me.

Options:

next

at

far

on

Correct Answer:

next

Explanation:

Sita was standing next to me.

Explanation:

  • Next: This word indicates a close proximity or adjacency, which is the most appropriate choice for describing Sita's position in relation to you.
  • At: While "at" is a preposition indicating a location, it doesn't convey the sense of immediate proximity that "next" does in this context.
  • Far: This adjective indicates a significant distance, which is the opposite of the intended meaning of being close to you.
  • On: This preposition typically indicates physical contact or connection with a surface, but it doesn't accurately describe Sita's position in relation to you.
