Choose the best option.Q. How did you come ____ your dog in the market...
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'A', which is "by".
When we say "come by", it means to acquire or obtain something. In this context, the sentence is asking about how the person acquired or obtained their dog in the market.
Examples:
To further understand the usage of "come by", here are a few examples:
1. I came by this book at a yard sale.
2. She came by her artistic talent naturally.
3. He came by his wealth through hard work and determination.
In all these examples, "come by" is used to express the acquisition or obtaining of something.
Options Explanation:
Let's briefly discuss the other options and why they are not the correct answer:
- Option 'B' - "on": The preposition "on" doesn't fit in the sentence and doesn't convey the intended meaning. It would be grammatically incorrect to say "come on" in this context.
- Option 'C' - "to": The preposition "to" doesn't fit the sentence structure and doesn't convey the intended meaning. It would be grammatically incorrect to say "come to" in this context.
- Option 'D' - "with": The preposition "with" can sometimes be used to indicate the means of transportation or accompany someone or something. However, in this context, it doesn't fit the sentence structure and doesn't convey the intended meaning. It would be grammatically incorrect to say "come with" in this context.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - "by". The sentence should be written as "How did you come by your dog in the market?" to convey the intended meaning of acquiring or obtaining the dog.

A preposition is a word which comes before a noun or a pronoun and establishes a relationship between the elements of a clause or words. Option A) by is correct as it is used to explain how something is done. The other options are wrong as on is used to indicate a surface, to is used to give a direction, and with is used to express inclusion of something. These uses don't fit in the given question. The correct answer is A) by.
