Fill in the blank using an appropriate preposition:
A) to
B) at
C) in
D) into

Answer 1

Hint: A preposition is a word that connects nouns, pronouns, or phrases in a sentence to other words. They act as a link between the people, items, time, and places mentioned in a statement. Prepositions are often brief words that are used directly in front of nouns. Prepositions can be found in front of gerund verbs in some instances. Prepositions can be thought of as the words that help bind a sentence together. This is accomplished via conveying position and movement, possession, time, and the manner in which an action is executed.

Complete answer:
The preceding statement refers to the type of institution Julia wishes to attend.

Let us look at the given options:
Option A: The preposition 'to' is employed to indicate a direction whereas here we have tk refer to a place. As a result, option A is inaccurate.
Option B: As 'at' is used to describe a specific location, it is the appropriate answer because in the given sentence, we have to point to a place.
Option C: The preposition 'in' denotes a specific location within a broader region, so option C is incorrect.
Option D: 'into' denotes a specific point within a bigger territory. Because the sentence refers to a specific place, the words 'in' and 'into' are inappropriate in this context. As a result, option D is erroneous.

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note: Some rules of prepositions are:
- The object of a preposition must be present.
- It must be done first.
- The object form of the pronoun following the preposition should be used.
- The preposition 'to' should not be confused with the infinitive 'to'.
- A preposition cannot have a verb as an object.
