Question

Choose the option that fills the blank with the most suitable word:
This is an extract _____ a novel by James Russo.

• A. in
• B. for
• C. on
• D. from

Answer 1

The correct option is D from

The given sentence shows the source of the extract. Therefore 'from' is the suitable answer, since 'from' is used to depict the source or starting point. On the other hand 'in' is used to show a location within a territory, hence option A is incorrect. The preposition 'for' is used to show any cause or reason, while 'on' is used to describe something above. Since the sentence speaks about a source of something, option B and C are incorrect.

The completed sentence thus becomes: This is an extract from a novel by James Russo.
