Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition:

I managed to put the fire out ____ a fire extinguisher.

• A. in
• B. by
• C. with
• D. on

Answer 1

The correct option is C with

A preposition is a word which comes before a noun or a pronoun and establishes a relationship between the elements of a clause or words. Option C)with is correct as it is used to express usage of something. The other options are wrong as on is used to indicate a surface, in is used to indicate a position inside an area, and by is used to express how something is done. These uses don't fit in the given question. The correct answer is C)with.
