B)At / into / by

D)With / to / through

Answer 1

Hint: To answer the question, one must understand the proper usage of prepositions. It is important to know which one is used in what context.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Prepositions are words that dictate and express a relation of one word to another or of two elements in a clause. These are generally placed before nouns or pronouns. On, after, over, on, under are some prepositions. For example, “the bird on the tree”.
Now, someone is charged “with” a certain accusation. They are brought “to” trial. And the trial is always carried out “by” jury. That is the correct order of prepositions
Option a, “for” and “in front of” are incorrect prepositions for their context. It is an incorrect option. Option b, “at”, “into” and “by” are all wrong prepositions to be used in context, as discussed above, hence, option b is incorrect. Option c, as discussed above, all the prepositions are correctly used and placed, hence it the correct choice. Option d, puts the first two preposition correctly but misplaces the last one that is “through” hence it is incorrect as well. Option c is the correct choice.

Note: Here, one must know the proper usage of “trial by jury” in order to not confuse the last two options. If one is not aware, one might end up choosing the wrong option.
