Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable prepositional phrase
The cupcake _____ is yours.
a) bag
b) With sprinkles
c) sweet
d) The table

Answer 1

Hint: This question is very easy since it is already mentioned that we have to find the “prepositional” phrase. Thus, the answer must compulsorily have a preposition in it. Examples of prepositions are to, from, on, with, etc.

Complete answer:
 Option a is wrong because “bag” is a noun. A bag is an object and is a common noun. She carried a heavy bag to the market. Her bag got stolen in the crowd.
Option b is the correct answer since it has the preposition “with” with the noun “sprinkles”. It is a phrase because it has more than one word. Thus, it is correctly a prepositional phrase. Thus, the cupcake with sprinkles in yours.
Option c is wrong because “sweet” is first of all, not a phrase and second, there is no preposition accompanying it. “Sweet” is an adjective. She is a sweet girl. This milkshake is too sweet.
Option d is wrong because though it is a phrase (since it has more than one word), it is accompanied with an article (the) and not a preposition.

Note:
This question is easy since there is only one prepositional phrase given in the options. If there would have been more than one option with a preposition, use the preposition independently in a sentence to see if it makes the sentence correct. A prepositional phrase is nothing but a preposition with a word attached to it. Thus, you can use the preposition independently in a sentence and then use it with the word given.
