Question

Choose the appropriate preposition and fill in the blank:

It was a very slow train. It stopped ______ every station.

• A. in
• B. on
• C. at
• D. with

Answer 1

The correct option is C at

The given sentence indicates specific location where the train stops. Therefore 'at' is the suitable answer, since 'at' is used to denote specific location. On the other hand 'in' is used to depict a position within or inside something or somebody. The preposition 'on' is used to depict something above , while 'with' depicts a company or in presence of someone or something. Since the sentence speaks about specific location, 'on' and 'with' are unsuitable in the given context. Thus option B and D are incorrect.

The complete thus becomes: It was a very slow train. It stopped at every station.
