Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition from those given in the options:

He put the oranges ______ a basket.

• A. Into
• B. Upon
• C. To
• D. Within

Answer 1

The correct option is A Into

'Within' means 'from the inside to the outside'. 'Into' is used to express movement from the outside to the inside. 'Upon' means 'above' or 'over' something. 'To' signifies motion in a particular direction. The sentence talks about the oranges being put 'from the outside to the inside' which means the correct preposition to use is Option A) Into.
