Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word-
Please walk _____ the street.
a) After
b) Across
c) For
d) Out

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:
The given sentence has to be filled in with the correct preposition. Now, the given options are prepositions and we have to fill in the one which suits the best in the given sentence. Prepositions are usually used in front of nouns or pronouns and they show the relationship between the noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct option -
Option ‘a’ is After. It is a preposition in the time following. It cannot be the correct answer as we cannot use it in the given sentence.
Option ‘b' is Across. It is a preposition that means from one side to another. It can be used in the given sentence as it makes sense and is relatable to the given sentence.
Option ‘c’ is For. It cannot be used in the given sentence as it is the wrong preposition. So, we will eliminate this option.
Option ‘d’ is Out. It cannot be used in the given sentence as we don’t use ‘out’ after ‘walk' in the given sentence. Hence, option ‘b’ is the correct option.

Note:
All the other options are plausible distractions. Don’t confuse between ‘out’ and ‘across’. We cannot use ‘out' here as it would be logically incorrect.
