Meera Rana answered |
Prepositions are words that indicate relationships with the other words in the sentence. Prepositions of place are used to refer to a place, usually to denote the location of something or someone.
Let's look at the usage of various alternatives in the option as preposition of place:
at : to refer to an exact place where something is situated / event
on : to refer to placement of something attached / adjacent to something else; to refer to something displayed on something else
with : means "accompanied by"; or "in relation to"
in : means "inside"
on : to refer to placement of something attached / adjacent to something else; to refer to something displayed on something else
with : means "accompanied by"; or "in relation to"
in : means "inside"
In the sentence, as a reference to a specific location , i.e. the front door. Therefore, the suitable preposition here is "at".
Thus, the correct complete sentence is:
Listen! I think there is someone AT the front door.
Listen! I think there is someone AT the front door.

In each of these examples, the preposition "in" is used to express interest or involvement in the activity of learning foreign languages.

Understanding Prepositions of Time
When discussing times of day, specific prepositions are used to convey accurate meanings. In the given sentence, "I woke up ---- five o'clock ---- the morning," the correct choice is "at / in."
Correct Answer: "at / in"
- "at" five o'clock:
- The preposition *"at"* is used for specific times.
- Example: "I will meet you at 5 PM."
- "in" the morning:
- The preposition *"in"* is used for parts of the day, months, and years.
- Example: "I usually exercise in the morning."
Why Option 'C' is Correct
- Combining "at" and "in":
- The phrase combines both prepositions correctly:
- "at five o'clock" indicates the specific time.
- "in the morning" specifies the broader period of time.
- Clarity in Meaning:
- This combination clearly conveys that the action of waking up happened at a specific time within the larger timeframe of the morning.
Review of Other Options
- Option A: "in / in":
- Incorrect as "in" does not fit for specific times.
- Option B: "at / on":
- Incorrect since "on" is used for days or dates, not parts of the day.
- Option D: "at / at":
- Incorrect because it redundantly uses "at" for both, failing to specify the broader timeframe.
By understanding these nuances in preposition usage, one can enhance their clarity in communication.

Uday Sharma answered |
Explanation:
The correct preposition to be used after "day" in the given sentence is "to". This is because "day-to-day" is a phrase that means "daily" or "routine".
Examples:
- I'm exhausted from the day-to-day grind of my job.
- It's important to have a day-to-day routine for good mental health.
Using "with" or "in" after "day" would change the meaning of the sentence:
- Using "with" would imply that the battle is happening alongside the day itself, rather than being a routine part of it.
- Using "in" would imply that the battle is happening within a specific day, rather than being an ongoing issue.
Using "to" after "resign" is correct because:
- "Resign" is a verb that requires a preposition to show the reason or cause for the resignation.
- "From" and "with" are commonly used prepositions after "resign", but "of" is not appropriate in this context.
- "From" implies resignation from a particular job or organization, while "with" implies resignation due to a specific issue or conflict.
