Question

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate word:
The best weather is ____ spring and autumn.
A. At
B. In
C. On
D. No preposition

Answer 1

Hint:A preposition is a word or set of words that indicates location (in, near, beside, on top of) or some other relationship between a noun or pronoun and other parts of the sentence (about, after, besides, instead of, in accordance with).

Complete answer:
A preposition is a word which comes before a noun or a pronoun and establishes a relationship between the elements of a clause or words. Option B is correct as it indicates time periods (seasons). The other options are wrong as at and on indicate a specific location and a surface respectively. These uses don't fit in the given question. The correct answer is B. The preposition 'at' is used when referring to buildings as locations in a city. This can be confused with the preposition 'in'. Generally, 'in' is used with buildings to mean that something occurs inside the building. 'At', on the other hand, is used to express that something happens at the location. "On" is used to indicate a position atop a surface or just above or outside a given area. So, you could also say, "Steven got a tattoo on his chest," or, "She placed the star on the tree." "On" is also used to indicate more specific days and dates.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note:There are some prepositions that are common in every type of preposition as they function in a versatile way. Those types of prepositions are given below in the table
