Question

 He will stay here _________ Monday.
A) by
 B) till
 C) at
 D) to

Answer 1

Hint: A preposition is a word that connects the nouns, pronouns or other phrases with the words that are given in the framed sentences. It may be a word or group of words that are placed before nouns, pronouns, or other phrases.

Complete answer:
In the above question, we’re talking about the time period of a person staying at that place.
We use prepositions to make a sentence meaningful.
Coming to the options, option A), “by” is used to show some location or place, also it means near to or next to, but in the given question it doesn’t fit in. Hence, Option A) is incorrect.
Option C) “at” states the importance of the preposition of place, but in the question, the place is not mentioned. Hence, this option too becomes invalid.
Option D) “to” shows that we’re going to someplace or somewhere. But in the given sentence, we’re talking about the duration of time. So, option D) is incorrect.
Option B) “till” states the exact duration of the time period till when the person will stay. Also, till is followed by a noun here. So, the correct answer is Option B) till.

Note:
A preposition helps to frame a sentence beautifully. Also, while using a preposition it is necessary to have a proper formation of a sentence starting with a subject and verb then preposition followed by a noun.
Correct Answer: Option B) till
He will stay here till Monday.
