Fill in the blank with an appropriate Preposition:
The Soldiers are _____ War.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → at
The correct phrase is "at war", which is commonly used to indicate a state of conflict or hostility. Here's why the other options do not work in this context:
- "on war": Not a standard phrase in English. "On" would be incorrect here.
- "in war": While this could be used in certain contexts, it generally refers to being involved in warfare rather than the general state of conflict.
- "with war": This phrase doesn't fit idiomatically or semantically here.
Thus, "The soldiers are at war" is the correct usage.
