Question

Choose the option that best fills in the blank:

My father worked for ten years _____ a banker.

• A. like
• B. as
• C. but
• D. in

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

as

'As' can be used as an adverb, preposition or conjunction. Here, as is used for referring to what someone or something does or how they appear. 'Like' is used to show a resemblance between two things or to express a preference. 'But' is used to show contrast. 'In' is a preposition used to talk about locations within a larger area. In the given sentence, no preference is shown.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.
