I gave him a chair to sit ___.a)Onb)Inc)ByCorrect answer is option 'A'...
To determine the correct preposition to complete the sentence, let's analyze the context and meaning of the sentence.
Context:
The speaker is giving someone a chair to sit on.
Analysis:
The verb "sit" is typically followed by a preposition that indicates the location or position of the object being sat upon. In this case, we need a preposition that can be used to describe the location of the chair.
Options:
A: On
B: In
C: By
Explanation:
The correct preposition to complete the sentence is "on." Here's why:
- The preposition "on" is used to indicate a surface or a position that is physically above something. In this case, the speaker is providing a chair for the person to sit on top of.
- The preposition "in" is used to indicate being inside or within something. It is not appropriate in this context because you do not sit inside a chair.
- The preposition "by" is used to indicate proximity or being beside something. It is not appropriate in this context because the speaker is providing a chair for the person to sit on, not beside.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct answer is A: On. The complete sentence would be: "I gave him a chair to sit on."
