Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition:
We couldn't arrive ________ the airport in time.

• A. At
• B. To
• C. In
• D. On

Answer 1

The correct option is A At

Answer : A

Prepositions are words that indicate relationships with the other words in the sentence. Prepositions of place are used to refer to a place, usually to denote the location of something or someone.

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

• at : to refer to an exact place where something is situated / event
• on : to refer to placement of something attached / adjacent to something else; to refer to something displayed on something else
• in : means "inside"
• to : means "in a particular direction"

In the sentence, as a reference to a specific location , i.e. the airport. Therefore, the suitable preposition here is "at".

Thus, the correct complete sentence is:

We couldn't arrive AT the airport in time.
