Question

Fill in blank [21] with a suitable preposition:

• A. To
• B. At
• C. From
• D. On

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

To

From the given notice, we understand that the destination of the trekking trip is Nathu Pass. The preposition, 'to' expresses motion in the direction of (a particular location). Hence, the phrase, 'organising a trip to Nathu Pass' means 'organising a trip whose destination is the specific location i.e Nathu Pass'. Hence, this is the most appropriate word which can fill the blank no. 21. Option A is correct.

The preposition, 'at' expressed location or arrival in a particular place or position. Eg: 'The trekking trip ends at Nathu Pass'. The preposition, 'from' indicates the point in space at which a journey, motion, or action starts.Eg: The trekking trip starts from Nathu Pass. The preposition, 'on' means 'physically in contact with and supported by (a surface)'. Eg: After reaching Nathu Pass, the students stood on a rock.

Given the meanings of the words, 'at', 'from' and 'on' these words cannot be used in the given blank to meaningfully complete the given sentence. Hence, options B, C and D are incorrect.
