Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition:
Mexico is situated ________ North America.

• A. To
• B. In
• C. At
• D. Throughout

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

In

The given sentence indicates a place.

'To' and 'in' both are used to show position. While 'to' is used to indicate a position outside, 'in' is used to show a position inside. 'In' fits correctly in the given sentence. Thus option B is the correct answer.

'Throughout' is used to show a movement. Thus it is incorrect.

'At' is used to show a place but not position. Thus it is also incorrect.
