Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:
I usually go home ______the weekend.
A. in
B. when
C. at
D. of

Answer 1

Hint:The sentences that we read and study in grammar are made up of a few, specific elements that help in forming the basic meaning of the sentence. We have read and studied about the subject, the object, the verb and the helping verbs that accompany verbs. Prepositions are an integral part of speech. They are used to establish relationships between the noun and the verb. The usage of prepositions changes with the type of subject (noun).

Complete answer:
1. In order to find the correct answer to this question, we will be checking each option one by one so that we can detect the correct option containing the correct preposition.
2. The first option, 'in' means inside that definite area or time. Hence, it is visible that this word is not in accordance with the context of the sentence.
3. Similarly, the second option, the word 'when' is also incorrect as it is also not in context of the sentence.
4. The fourth option 'of' is also incorrect as the use of that word in the context of the sentence is inappropriate.
5. The third option, 'at' is often used when specifying about time. In the sentence, it signifies that the preposition ‘at’ is quite compatible with the days belonging to the weekend. Therefore, we can see that the third option ‘at’ is correct.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’

Note:The use of correct preposition is very important in order to specify the correct context of the sentence. For example, as per the context of this question sentence, the usage of the word 'on' is also correct. Although, this option ‘on’ is not given in the options above.
