Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition:
What do you do when you run __________ petrol?

• A. Off
• B. With
• C. Out of
• D. Without

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Out of

'Out of' is used to say that no more of something is available. The given sentence indicates lack of something. Thus option C is the correct answer..

'Off' is incorrect as it means separation. The given sentence does not speak f any separation. 'Without' means the absence of something which is also incorrect. 'With' indicates means, possession, contents, relationship, for and against. It does not fit the meaning of the sentence. Hence it is incorrect.
