Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition:
My father takes a nap _________ dinner.

• A. With
• B. After
• C. On
• D. At

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

After

Answer : B

Prepositions are words that indicate relationships with the other words in the sentence. Prepositions of time are used to denote time in a sentence.

Let's look at the usage of various alternatives in the option as preposition of time:

• at : to refer to an exact time of the day, also used along with "night"
• with : not used as a preposition of time
• on : to refer to days / period of time
• after : means "A time after than"

Upon reading the sentence in the question, we understand that the speaker is conveying that his father takes a nap post dinner. Therefore, the suitable preposition here is "after".

Thus, the correct complete sentence is:

My father takes a nap AFTER dinner.
