Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition-
He has a pain _______ his leg.
a) On
b) Over
c) In
d) At

Answer 1

Hint: A preposition is a word that comes before a noun or a pronoun and establishes a relationship between the elements of a clause or words.

Complete answer:
The above sentence means that the person has physical pain in his legs. For eg. The injury was so ruthless that the pain in his legs was making an inappropriate sound while he was on his foot.
We will look at each option clearly and try to find out the exact meaning of the words:
Option 'a' on, which means supported by, fixed to, or touching something, especially a surface. For eg. The cup is kept on the table.
Option 'b' over, which means straight above something, but not touching it. For eg. The airplane flew above the clouds.
Option 'c' in, which means inside or to a position inside a particular area or object. For eg. The blanket was kept in the drawer for a long time.
Option 'd' at, which means to show where something/someone is or where something happens. For eg. The file was submitted at the counter where a huge crowd was standing.
Looking at each option clearly, we came to the point that option 'c' is the correct answer. That is “in” is the correct answer. The complete sentence would be - He has a pain in his legs.

Note:
Prepositions and postpositions, together called adpositions, are a class of words used to express spatial or temporal relations or mark various semantic roles.
