Question

Complete the sentence using the best option with the help of the hint given in the brackets:

He's always getting _____ trouble. (He always gets punished at school)

• A. into
• B. under
• C. on
• D. over

Answer 1

The correct option is A into

From the given options, we can use logic and basic grammar to eliminate the options that do not fit into the sentence correctly. From the sentence we can understand that the subject always involves in trouble. Therefore 'into' is the suitable answer, since 'getting into' is generally used to depict involvement. Thus option A is correct. On the other hand 'under' is used to indicate something below, which is not appropriate for this sentence. Hence option B is incorrect. The preposition 'on' is used to indicate something above, while 'over' is used to depict movement or position at a higher level . Since the sentence speaks about involvement, 'on' and 'over' are unsuitable in the given context. Thus options C and D are incorrect.

The completed sentence , thus becomes : He's always getting into trouble.
