Question

Choose the option that fills the blank with the most suitable word:

She was so exhausted that she rested _____ the whole day.

• A. during
• B. after
• C. in
• D. on

Answer 1

The correct option is A during

A preposition is a word which comes before a noun or a pronoun and establishes a relationship between the elements of a clause or words. Option A)during is correct as it indicates a duration. The other options are wrong as after, in, and on indicate following something, inside something and a surface respectively. These uses don't fit in the given question. The correct answer is A)during.
