Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition.
The Google Map showed a bus stop _______ Starbucks.
The correct option is B near
The preposition ‘near’ is used to denote that something is close to something else. In the given sentence the bus stop is close or right next to Starbucks, so option B is correct. On the other hand, ‘inside' is used when someone/something is within a building or place. 'A bus stop' cannot be 'inside' Starbucks. A bus stop can only be outside a shop or building, i.e. 'alongside' or 'across' a shop. Therefore 'inside' cannot be used. Thus option C is incorrect. ‘Under’ is commonly used to speak of an object or thing that is placed lower than some other thing. In the given context the bus stop cannot be 'under' Starbucks, since Starbucks is a building. Therefore option A is incorrect. Similarly 'into' is used to denote movement from the outside to inside something, which is not the case here. Hence option D is incorrect.
