Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition:

It would have been nice to live __________ the eighteenth century.

• A. In
• B. At
• C. Under
• D. On

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

In

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 A)in is correct as it indicates a duration ( of which one is/ could be a part of). The other options are wrong as at indicates a specific location, under indicates a lower position, and on indicates a surface of something. These uses don't fit in the given question. The correct answer is A)in.
