Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition:

The plane will stay on the runway _______ five minutes.

• A. At
• B. On
• C. In
• D. For

Answer 1

The correct option is D For

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 D)for is correct as it indicates a duration. The other options are wrong as at, on, and in indicate a specific location, a surface, and the inside of an area respectively. These uses don't fit in the given question. The correct answer is D)for.
