Solution
The correct option is B beside
The sentence speaks about a position next to or at the side of 'him' . Therefore 'beside' is the suitable answer, since 'beside' generally indicates the position next to or at the side of someone. Thus option D is correct. On the other hand 'besides' is used to mean as apart from or in addition to. Hence option A is incorrect. The preposition 'along' is used to depict one end or towards the other end of something , while 'at' is used to define something specific. Since the sentence speaks about a position next to or at the side of someone, 'along' and 'at' are unsuitable in the given context. Thus they are incorrect.The completed sentence thus becomes: I hate sitting beside him as he always smells of garlic.
