Question

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

The sun hid ______ the clouds.

• A. inside
• B. to
• C. behind
• D. on

Answer 1

The correct option is C behind

The phrase 'to hide behind' is often used to suggest that something is concealed behind something. Since the sun cannot be surrounded by the clouds, option A is wrong. 'To' indicates movement to a particular direction, so option B is also incorerct. 'On' means 'on top of' which is incorrect in the context of the sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is option C) Behind.
