Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition:
I was walking ________ the hospital with a friend when it happened.

• A. For
• B. Among
• C. Past
• D. Beneath

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Past

We can determine the required answer with the help of logic and by eliminating the incorrect answer.

Beneath is a used to indicate position and among is used in case of groups. The given sentence does not speak of any position or group. Thus, option B and c are incorrect.

For is used to indicate a space of time, purpose, cause, with regard to, use of something, to show who is intended to have or use something. Thus, option A is also incorrect.

Past means going near someone or something while you are on your way to another place. Thus option C is the correct answer.
