Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

I got a cheque _____ a hundred pounds this morning.

• A. In
• B. On
• C. Out of
• D. Of

Answer 1

The correct option is D Of

Preposition 'of' is used with measurements and expressions of time, age, money, amount, etc. Here, we need a preposition that connects 'cheque' with 'a hundred pounds.' So, Option D is the correct answer as ‘of’ is used with cheque to imply that the cheque concerns the amount of a hundred pounds. Prepositions in Options A, B and C would not bring out the intended meaning of the sentence and their usage in the sentence would be incorrect.
