Question

Choose the appropriate preposition and fill in the blank:

Three people were taken ____ the hospital after the accident.

• A. to
• B. at
• C. on
• D. into

Answer 1

The correct option is A to

The given sentence indicates in which direction they three people were taken to. Therefore 'to' is the suitable answer. Since 'to' is used to denote a specific direction. Thus option A is correct. On the other hand 'at' is used to denote a specific location, which is not appropriate for this sentence, hence option B is incorrect. The preposition 'on' is used to depict something above , while 'into' is used to depict something inside a larger territory, since the sentence speaks about a certain direction, 'on' and 'into' are unsuitable in the given context. Thus option C and D are incorrect.

The completed sentence thus becomes: Three people were taken to the hospital after the accident.
