Question

What are you listening _______?
Fill in the blank with the most suitable preposition
A) to
B) on
C) at
D) in

Answer 1

Hint: A preposition is a word or phrase that precedes a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase to indicate direction, time, place, location, spatial connections, or to introduce an object. "In," "at," "on," "of," and "to" are all examples of prepositions. In English, there are several idioms for prepositions.

Complete answer:
In the above sentence, we have to use a preposition that will act as a directional preposition, it should ask the question of to whom the second person is listening.

Let us look at the given options:
A) to: This is the correct option. To is a preposition and a useful little word that may be used to express a variety of ideas. It can be used to signify a destination, a goal, or a travel direction, as well as a point of arrival. It will be used in the above question to indicate to whom the individual is listening.
B) on: This option is incorrect because, in the above sentence, we must employ a preposition that directs towards something instead of the word 'on', which suggests a surface.
C) at: This option is incorrect because the preposition 'at' denotes a specific location, which is irrelevant in the preceding phrase.
D) in: This option is incorrect because the preposition 'in' implies 'within something,' but we need to inquire who the other person is listening to, so it's irrelevant.

Thus, the correct answer is Option (A) to

Note: Some prepositional rules are as follows:
- The presence of an object is required for a preposition.
- The term "pre-position" refers to a position that comes before another.
- When a preposition is followed by a pronoun, the pronoun should be in the object form.
- The phrases to preposition and to infinitive are not interchangeable.
