Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:

_________ my stay in hospital, the nurses looked after me very well.

• A. While
• B. During
• C. For
• D. In

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

During

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 B)during is correct as it indicates a general duration. The other options are wrong as while, for, and in indicate duration of an activity, a purpose, and inside something respectively. These uses don't fit in the given question. The correct answer is B)during.
