Question

Choose the correct word/phrase to complete the sentence.
They have built a large office away from the city centre. It is in the technology park on the ______ of the city.

• A. edges
• B. outskirts
• C. limits
• D. heart

Answer 1

The correct option is B outskirts

The first sentence indicates that the technology park is in an area which is located outside the city.

The word, 'edge' means 'the outside limit of an object, area, or surface'. It is not used to indicate the area located outside a city. The appropriate word is 'outskirts'. The word, 'outskirts' means 'the area located at the edge of a city or a town'. Hence, option B is the correct answer and option A is incorrect.

The phrase, 'limits of a city' is used to refer to the outer boundary of a city. It does not refer to the area located at the edge or outside the boundary of a city. Eg: 'Citizens are not allowed to cross the limits of the city after 9 p.m.' Hence, option C is incorrect.

The phrase, 'heart of the city' refers to the area located in the middle of the city. Hence, option D is incorrect.
