Amit Kumar answered |
The correct answer is Option A.
The word IN is used when we refer to a place in general. There is only reference to New York in the given sentence. Hence IN is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
Option B: FOR is used to refer to 'use', 'time' or 'reason'.
Option C: AT is used to refer to a specific place.
Option D: OF is used to establish a relation between two things or people.
Hence Option A is the correct answer.

Explanation:
To answer this question, let's first understand the meaning of each preposition option and its usage in the given sentence.
a) At: This preposition is used to indicate a specific location or position. However, in the given sentence, it doesn't make sense to say "He walked at his friends."
b) On: This preposition is used to indicate a position above or in contact with a surface. Again, in the given sentence, it doesn't make sense to say "He walked on his friends."
c) Past: This preposition is used to indicate movement or direction from one side to the other, without stopping. In the given sentence, this preposition fits perfectly as it means "He walked by his friends without noticing them."
d) Against: This preposition is used to indicate physical contact or opposition between two things. However, in the given sentence, it doesn't make sense to say "He walked against his friends."
Therefore, the correct preposition to fill in the blank is "past" (option C).

Aditya Shah answered |
Option A: 'A pen on him' means he did not own a pen. It doesn't indicate the place where the pen is, hence 'on' is not a preposition of place. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option C: 'Preposition of Inference' doesn't exist as a grammatical concept. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D: 'Preposition of Agency' doesn't exist as a grammatical concept. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option B: 'Preposition of Possession' means a word that indicates the ownership of something. As 'on' explains that the person doesn't own a pen, we can say that it is a preposition of possession. Thus option B is the correct answer.
Option C: 'Preposition of Inference' doesn't exist as a grammatical concept. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D: 'Preposition of Agency' doesn't exist as a grammatical concept. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option B: 'Preposition of Possession' means a word that indicates the ownership of something. As 'on' explains that the person doesn't own a pen, we can say that it is a preposition of possession. Thus option B is the correct answer.

Understanding the Preposition "for"
In the sentence "He sacrificed his life for the good of the people," the preposition "for" serves a specific purpose.
Type of Preposition
- The preposition "for" is classified as a Preposition of Cause or Purpose.
- It indicates the reason or goal behind the action of sacrificing his life.
Why is it a Preposition of Cause or Purpose?
- Purpose: The phrase "for the good of the people" explains why he made the sacrifice.
- It answers the question: "Why did he sacrifice his life?" The answer is to benefit the people.
Other Types of Prepositions
- Preposition of Possession: Indicates ownership (e.g., "The book of John").
- Preposition of Contrast: Shows contrast between ideas (e.g., "He is tall for his age").
- Preposition of Time: Refers to a specific time (e.g., "She will arrive at noon").
Conclusion
Thus, in this context, "for" is not used to show possession, contrast, or time but to express the purpose behind the action. Therefore, the correct classification is indeed option D: Preposition of Cause or Purpose.
This understanding helps in grasping how prepositions function in sentences, enhancing both writing and comprehension skills.

Avinash Patel answered |
Option A: 'Preposition of Place' explains the place of the subject or the object. The given sentence is about the rate and not the place of the object. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option C: 'Preposition of Contrast' explains the contrasting words, clauses or ideas. For example, 'I like ice creams but I love chocolates.' As the given sentence has no contrasting clauses, 'of' is not a preposition of contrast. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D: 'Preposition of manner' explains how the action is done. For example, 'I waited with patience.' As the sentence has no word that describes manner, 'of' is not a preposition of manner here. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option B: 'Preposition of Rate or Measure' explains the price of a good or its measure. As 'of' explains the rate by explaining the percentage, it is a preposition of rate. Thus option B is the correct answer.
Option C: 'Preposition of Contrast' explains the contrasting words, clauses or ideas. For example, 'I like ice creams but I love chocolates.' As the given sentence has no contrasting clauses, 'of' is not a preposition of contrast. Thus option C is incorrect.

Option A is incorrect because a preposition of time answers the question when.
A preposition of contrast is that preposition which signifies the irony or the stark difference that one would find within the sentence. Hence option B is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because prepositions of possession are used to express that something belongs to a person, animal or thing. eg. with, of, to and so on.

____ food, we gave the poor some money.
a)
Beside
b)
Among
c)
By
d)
Besides
|

Dipanjan Chatterjee answered |
Explanation:
Option D, "Besides" is the correct preposition to use in this sentence.
Here's why:
The sentence structure is: "Besides food, we gave the poor some money."
"Besides" is a preposition that means "in addition to" or "apart from".
Therefore, the sentence means that in addition to giving food, the speaker also gave money to the poor.
None of the other options make sense in this context.
Here's what the other options mean:
- "Beside" means next to or alongside.
- "Among" means surrounded by or in the middle of.
- "By" could mean "next to" or indicate the means by which something was accomplished. However, neither of these meanings make sense in this context.

interjection is a part of speech which is more commonly used in informal language than in formal writing or speech. Basically, the function of interjections is to express emotions or sudden bursts of feelings. 'On is not an interjection.

Aditya Shah answered |
The preposition ‘in is used to refer to being surrounded by a building or place, whereas ‘inside’ is used while denoting the movement from outside to an enclosed space. In the given sentence the kids are moving from outside the classroom into the class, because of the rain. Therefore option C is correct whereas option A is incorrect. On the other hand ‘over’ is used to speak about being in contact with a surface. The class is not a surface/object on top of which the kids can run. Hence option D is incorrect. Whereas ‘with’ is used to denote a tool or company, which is not the case here. Therefore option B is incorrect.

Option D: 'Preposition of Cause or Purpose' explains the cause of the action in a sentence. For example, 'He works for money'. Here, 'for' is the preposition that shows the cause of the action. As the given sentence doesn't explain any cause, we can't say that 'from' is 'preposition of cause.' Thus option D is incorrect.
Option A: 'Preposition of Inference or Source' explains the source or ideas that conclude the result. The given sentence explains the source of 'this quotation'. Thus option A is the correct answer.

A prepositon is a word governing, and usually preceding, a noun or pronoun and expressing a relation to another word or element in the clause. In the given sentence 'off' expresses the relation between the verb 'jumped' and the noun 'chair'. Hence option D is the correct answer.
Options A, B and C are incorrect because an 'adjective' is a word that names the attribute of a noun, a 'noun' is simply a naming word and a 'verb' is an action word. 'Off' does not fit into the definitions of these parts of speech.

Amit Kumar answered |
The prepositions ‘on’ and ‘upon’ mean to place something over a surface. But ‘on’ is used to denote an object being placed on an inanimate surface while ‘upon’ means to climb on a moving object or thing. In the sentence, the desk is a surface ‘on’ which something is placed and not a moving object. Hence option A is correct, while option B is incorrect. On the other hand ‘of’ signifies belonging which is not the case here. The photo of his family doesn’t belong to the desk or originates from it. Thus option C is incorrect. Similarly ‘for’ is used to refer to the person/thing that something is intended for. The photo is not placed for the sake of the desk. Hence option D is incorrect.
