Opening a Tin with a Knife

To open a tin with a knife, you need to apply some force to the edge of the tin to create a small opening. Then, you can use the knife to cut around the edge of the tin to create a larger opening. Here's how to do it:

- Hold the tin firmly in one hand and the knife in the other hand.
- Position the tip of the knife on the edge of the tin, near the top.
- Apply some pressure to the knife, pushing it into the edge of the tin.
- Use a twisting motion to create a small opening in the tin.
- Once you have a small opening, insert the knife into the opening and slowly cut around the edge of the tin.
- Apply more pressure to the knife as needed to cut through the metal.
- Continue cutting around the edge of the tin until you have a complete opening.

Answer: Option A (with)

In the given sentence, the correct preposition to use with the verb "open" in this context is "with". The knife is the tool being used to open the tin. Hence, the correct sentence is "He tried to open the tin with a knife."

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Yashina Kapoor answered

The correct answer is option A: "at / in". Here's the detailed explanation:
- The phrase "sitting" indicates that Mike is in a seated position.
- The word "at" is used to indicate a specific location or position.
- The word "in" is used to indicate being inside or within a particular space.
- The desk is a specific location where Mike is sitting.
- The front of the door is a specific position or direction where Mike is sitting.
Breaking down the options:
- Option A: "at / in"
- Mike is sitting at the desk, indicating a specific location.
- The desk is in front of the door, indicating a position or direction.
- Option B: "in / on"
- Mike is sitting in the desk implies that he is inside the desk, which doesn't make sense.
- The front of the door is on, which is incorrect.
- Option C: "on / on"
- Mike is sitting on the desk, implying that he is sitting on top of the desk rather than being seated at it.
- The front of the door is on, which is incorrect.
- Option D: "at / at"
- Mike is sitting at the desk, indicating a specific location.
- The front of the door is at, which doesn't accurately describe the position.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A: "at / in".

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Ravi dey answered
Understanding the Correct Preposition: "at"
In the sentence "Listen! I think there is someone _____ the front door," the correct preposition to use is "at." Let's break down why this choice is the most appropriate.
Reason for Choosing "at"
- Indicates Location: The preposition "at" is used to indicate a specific point or location. In this case, "at the front door" refers to the exact spot where someone might be standing or waiting.
- Common Usage: It is common in English to say someone is "at the door" or "at the gate" when referring to a person being present at a particular entry point. It conveys the idea of being near or close to that location.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect
- "on": This preposition typically indicates position on a surface. Saying "on the front door" would suggest that someone is physically on top of the door, which is not the intended meaning.
- "in": This implies being inside a place. Saying "in the front door" would suggest that someone is inside the house, which does not align with the context of someone waiting outside.
- "with": This preposition indicates having something or being accompanied by someone. "With the front door" does not make logical sense in this context, as it does not describe location.
Conclusion
Using "at" in the sentence accurately conveys that someone is located near the front door, making it the correct choice. Understanding the nuances of prepositions helps in crafting clear and precise sentences.

He looks upset, I think he took the criticism _____ heart.
  • a)
    to
  • b)
    about
  • c)
    in
  • d)
    of
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Sara singh answered
Explanation:

The correct preposition to use in this sentence is "to." The phrase "to heart" is an idiom that means to take something personally or deeply. It indicates that the person is affected emotionally by the criticism.

Breakdown of the sentence:
- Subject: He (referring to a person)
- Verb: looks (describing the person's appearance)
- Object: upset (describing the person's emotional state)
- Phrase: I think he took the criticism to heart (explaining the reason for the person's upset appearance)

Meaning of the idiom "to heart":
When someone takes something "to heart," it means they are deeply affected by it, especially emotionally. It implies that the person has taken the criticism personally and it has had a significant impact on them.

Example:
- If someone says, "She took the feedback to heart," it means that the feedback had a profound effect on her and she is deeply affected by it.

Alternative prepositions:
- The preposition "about" is not appropriate in this context. It would change the meaning of the sentence to imply that the person is upset about the criticism but not necessarily deeply affected by it.
- The preposition "in" is not suitable either. It would imply that the person is upset in the presence of criticism, rather than being affected by it.
- The preposition "of" is not correct in this sentence. It would indicate that the person is upset because of the criticism, but it does not convey the idea of taking it to heart.

Therefore, the correct preposition to complete the sentence is "to," as it accurately conveys the meaning that the person has taken the criticism personally and is deeply affected by it.

    on
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Sarika dubey answered
Explanation:

Surprise Party for His Birthday
- The correct preposition to use in this sentence is "on."
- When we talk about events like birthdays, we use the preposition "on" to indicate the specific day the event is happening.
- For example, we say "on my birthday," "on Christmas," "on New Year's Day," etc.
- So, in this case, the correct preposition is "on" as in "on his birthday."
- Therefore, the correct completion of the sentence is "We are giving him a surprise party on his birthday."

Ravi dey answered


Explanation:

Prepositions:
- Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence.
- In this case, the prepositions "in" and "on" are used to indicate location.

Usage of "in" and "on":
- "In" is used to show that something is enclosed or surrounded by something else. For example, "in the house."

Correct answer:
- In this sentence, the correct prepositions to use are "in" and "on."
- "Don't walk in the street!" - This means not to walk inside the street.
- "Walk here on the sidewalk." - This means to walk on top of or alongside the sidewalk.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - "in / on".

Answer:
The correct answer is C: on / in.
Explanation:
There are two sentences given in the question:
1. "There's paper _____ the floor."
2. "Please put it _____ the wastebasket."
To complete these sentences correctly, we need to choose the appropriate prepositions. Let's analyze each sentence separately:

- The paper is located on the floor.
- The preposition that indicates the location of the paper is "on."
Sentence 2: "Please put it _____ the wastebasket."
- The action of putting the paper has a direction towards the wastebasket.
- The preposition that indicates the direction is "in."
Therefore, the correct answers are:
- "on" to complete the first sentence.
- "in" to complete the second sentence.
Hence, the correct answer is C: on / in.

They live ______ Atlantic Avenue.
  • a)
    at
  • b)
    in
  • c)
    on
  • d)
    to
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Ajay rane answered
Answer:

Living on a particular street or avenue is a common expression used to indicate the location of someone's residence. In this case, the correct answer is option 'C', They live on Atlantic Avenue.

Explanation:
To understand why "on" is the correct preposition to use in this context, let's take a closer look at the different prepositions and their meanings:

a) At: The preposition "at" is used to indicate a specific point or location. It is commonly used when referring to a particular building or place, such as "at the mall" or "at the park." However, when it comes to indicating a residential address, "at" is not typically used.

b) In: The preposition "in" is used to indicate being inside or within the boundaries of a certain area or place. It is commonly used when referring to a city, country, or region, such as "in New York" or "in the United States." However, when it comes to specifying a specific street or avenue, "in" is not the most appropriate preposition to use.

c) On: The preposition "on" is used to indicate being physically located or situated on a surface or object. It is commonly used when referring to streets, avenues, roads, and other similar locations. When we say "They live on Atlantic Avenue," we are indicating that their residence is situated directly on Atlantic Avenue.

d) To: The preposition "to" is used to indicate movement or direction towards a particular place. It is commonly used when referring to going somewhere, such as "going to the store" or "traveling to a different city." However, when it comes to describing someone's residential address, "to" is not the most suitable preposition to use.

Therefore, the correct preposition to use in this context is "on," as it accurately conveys the idea that the individuals mentioned in the statement live directly on Atlantic Avenue.

See you _____ Monday morning.
  • a)
    under
  • b)
    at
  • c)
    in
  • d)
    on
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Edgy Education answered

The correct answer to complete the sentence "See you _____ Monday morning" is option D: on.
Explanation:
To choose the correct preposition to complete the sentence, we need to consider the usage and meaning of each option.
- Option A: under - This preposition is used to indicate a position below or beneath something. However, it does not make sense in the context of the sentence. We do not meet "under" a specific time.
- Option B: at - This preposition is used to indicate a specific point in time or location. While we can meet "at" a specific time, such as "See you at 8 am," it does not fit in the given sentence as it doesn't provide a specific time or location.
- Option C: in - This preposition is used to indicate being inside or within a place. While we can meet "in" a specific location, such as "See you in the office," it does not fit in the given sentence as it doesn't specify a location.
- Option D: on - This preposition is used to indicate a specific day or date. In the context of the sentence, "See you on Monday morning" makes sense as it specifies a particular day.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D: on.

The correct answer is C:
at
.
Explanation:
To determine the correct preposition to use in the given sentence, we need to consider the context and common usage.
- "At" is used to indicate a specific time. For example, "at seven o'clock" means exactly at that time.
- "In" is used to indicate a period of time, such as "in the morning" or "in the evening."
- "On" is used to indicate days of the week or specific dates, such as "on Monday" or "on January 1st."
- "Of" is a preposition used to indicate possession or origin, and it is not appropriate in this context.
Therefore, the correct preposition to use in the given sentence is "at." The correct sentence would be "I'll call you at seven o'clock."
