Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
A: When is your birthday?
B: It is ____ August.

• A. on
• B. into
• C. between
• D. in

Answer 1

The correct option is D in

The sentence indicates that the subject's birthday occurs during the month of august. Thus, the sentence must indicate occurrence during a time period.

Option A is incorrect. 'on' indicates a place or a location and not occurrence. Thus, it is incorrect.

Option B is incorrect. 'into' indicates insertion or inclusion and not occurrence. Thus, it is incorrect.

Option C is incorrect. 'between' means 'in the space separating two objects'. It does not indicate occurrence. Thus, it is incorrect.

Option D is correct. 'in', in this case, indicates that the subject's birthday occurs during the month of August. Thus, it has the correct meaning and is the correct answer.
