Question

Choose the appropriate preposition and fill in the blank:

The plane was badly damaged _____ lightning.

• A. in
• B. by
• C. with
• D. on

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

by

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)by is correct as it is used to show a person or a thing that does something. The other options are wrong as on is used to indicate a surface, in is used to indicate a position inside an area, and with is used to express inclusion. These uses don't fit in the given question. The correct answer is B)by.
