BPSC TGT SST (History & Economics) Mock Test - 1 - Bihar PGT/TGT/PRT MCQ

Answer: A. under Explanation: The correct preposition to use in this sentence is "under." This is because the preposition "under" is used to describe something that is beneath or below something else. In this case, the cat is sleeping beneath the bed. Here's a breakdown of the other prepositions and why they are not appropriate in this context: - B. above: This preposition indicates that something is higher or at a higher level than something else. In this case, it does not make sense for the cat to sleep above the bed. - C. between: This preposition is used when something is in the middle of two other things. It does not fit the context of the cat sleeping in relation to the bed. - D. over: Similar to "above," this preposition implies that something is on top of or covering something else. It does not accurately describe the cat's position in relation to the bed. So, the correct sentence is: "The cat always sleeps under my bed."
