Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → by
Complete sentence: Most of the guests arrived for the concert by bus. The guests travelled to the concert on a bus, so "arrived by bus" is correct.
| Option | Used to show | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) by (answer) | The preposition by names the means of transport: by bus, by train, by car, by air. No article comes before the noun: “by bus”, not “by the bus”. | We went to Shimla by train. |
| (2) with | company or the tool used for an action. “Arrived with bus” is not used for travel. | She cut the paper with scissors. |
| (3) from | the starting point. “Arrived from bus” makes no sense. A person arrives from a place. | He has just come back from Delhi. |
| (4) through | from one side or end of something to the other. It shows movement inside a space, not a means of travel. | The train passed through a long tunnel. |
