Question

Choose the option that best corrects the transitive and intransitive verbs at the underlined point:
He occupied the position three years. [Basic]

• A. in three years
• B. of three years
• C. with three years
• D. for three years

Answer 1

The correct option is D for three years

Choice D must be 'for three years'. The preposition 'for' denotes the time he has been in position. Option A is incorrect as the preposition 'in' means within something. Option B is incorrect as the preoposition 'of' means belonging to something. Option C is incorrect as the preposition 'with' means 'being together. Hence Option D is correct.
