Question

Choose the appropriate preposition and fill in the blank:

We had lunch ______ the airport while we were waiting for our plane.

• A. at
• B. in
• C. to
• D. into

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

at

The given sentence speaks about a specific space or location where the subject have their lunch. Therefore 'at' is the suitable answer. Thus option A is correct. On the other hand 'in' is used to depict the location of something. Hence option B is incorrect. The preposition 'to' is used to indicate a direction, while 'into' is used to depict the location of something in a larger territory. Since the sentence speaks about a specific place 'to' and 'into' are unsuitable in the given context. Hence they are incorrect.

The completed sentence thus becomes: We had lunch at the airport while we were waiting for our plane.
