Question

Choose the appropriate preposition and fill in the blank:

There were fifty rooms _____ the hotel.

• A. on
• B. in
• C. at
• D. for

Answer 1

The correct option is B in

The given sentence speaks about something inside or within the hotel. Therefore 'in' is the suitable answer, since 'in' is used to indicate location or position within or inside something. Thus option B is correct. On the other hand 'on' is used to indicate something above. Hence option A is incorrect. The preposition 'at' is used to denote a specific place, while 'for' is used to create a reason or connection. Since the sentence speaks about something inside the hotel , 'at' and 'for' are unsuitable in the given context. Thus option C and D are incorrect.

Thus the complete sentence becomes: There were fifty rooms in the hotel.
