Question

Choose the word or phrase that best completes the sentence.

Is St Paul's the oldest cathedral _______ Britain?

• A. from
• B. in
• C. of
• D. to

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

in

The given sentence depicts a location within a territory or country. Therefore 'in' is the suitable answer, since 'in' is used to depict a location within a territory. Thus option B is correct. On the other hand 'from' is used to define a starting position or source, hence option A is unsuitable for the given sentence. The preposition 'of' is used to show any belonging or relation, while 'to' is used to denote any certain direction or destination. Since the sentence speaks about a location , option C and D are incorrect.

The completed sentence thus becomes: Is St Paul's oldest cathedral in Britain?
