Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
The film was based _____a novel by Hemingway.

• A. on
• B. in
• C. over
• D. at

Answer 1

The correct option is A on

Option A is the correct answer because the preposition 'on' is used to show the basis or reason for something.

Options B, C and D are incorrect because 'in' is used for unspecific times or to indicate a location, 'over' is used to talk about movement or position at a higher level than something else and 'at' is used to point out a specific time or a specific place.
