Question

Choose the appropriate preposition and fill in the blank:

Shall we travel _____ your car or mine?

• A. on
• B. in
• C. at
• D. with

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

in

Option B: 'In' means 'inclusion within a space or place'. It agrees to the given sentence in meaning. When referring to a mode of transport, we say we're 'in the bus', 'in the train', 'in the car', etc. Hence option B is correct.

Option A: 'On' refers to the top or surface of something. It does not apply here, since one does not sit 'on top of a car', but 'inside it'.

Option C: 'At' indicates 'a point or place occupied in space'. It expresses location. We don't say 'at the car' because it does not indicate 'an inclusion in the car', but 'outside the car'. Also, 'car' is not a location, but a vehicle that moves. Hence 'at' is not suitable here.

Option D: 'With' means 'accompanied by'. It is not relevant here.

Hence options A, C and D are wrong.
