Question

Choose the appropriate preposition and fill in the blank:

It's always too hot ____ my sister's house. The heating is always on too high.

• A. with
• B. on
• C. at
• D. in

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

in

The given sentence speaks about the hot temperature within or inside sister's house. Therefore 'in' is the suitable answer, since 'in' is used to describe a location within or inside something. Thus option D is correct. On the other hand 'with' is used to denote a company or presence of somebody or something. Hence option A is incorrect. The preposition 'on' is used to describe about something above while 'at' is used to describe a specific place. Since the sentence speaks about the heat within the sister's house, 'on' and 'at' are unsuitable in the given context. Thus option B and C are incorrect.

The complete sentence thus becomes: It's always too hot in my sister's house. The heating is always on too high.
