Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:

________ the afternoon we went shopping.

• A. At
• B. In
• C. On
• D. No preposition
  

Answer 1

The correct option is B In

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)in is correct as it indicates a general duration. The other options are wrong as at and on indicate a specific location and a surface respectively. These uses don't fit in the given question. The correct answer is B)in.
