Question

Fill in the blank with most appropriate preposition-
Isha stayed in Kashmir ________ Sunday to Tuesday.
a) For
b) From
c) On
d) By

Answer 1

Hint: Read the given phrase/sentence carefully. Try to make out the meaning of it and find the subject or the predicate or the main object of the sentence.

Complete answer:
 A preposition is a word governing, and usually preceding, a noun or pronoun and expressing a relation to another word or element in the clause. The given sentence means that Isha is living in Kashmir for the days Sunday and Tuesday.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct option -
Option ‘a’ is For. It is used to specify a period of time. It can be used when talking about the past, present, or future. It cannot be used in the given blank.
Option ‘b’ is From. It is a preposition which means indicating the point in space at which journey, motion, or action starts. It can be used in the given blank.
Option ‘c' is On. It is a preposition that means physically in contact with and supported by (a surface). It cannot be the correct answer and cannot be used in the given blank.
Option ‘d’ is By. It is the proposition that is used to identify the agent performing an action. It cannot be used in the given sentence. Hence, option ‘b’ is the correct option.

Note:
All the other options are plausible distractions. Don’t confuse between ‘for’ and ‘from’. For is used when a certain number of days, unlike ‘from'.
