Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
There's a park across the street ____ the hospital.

• A. of
• B. to
• C. from
• D. for

Answer 1

The correct option is C from

The sentence indicates that the distance between the hospital and the park is a street. In other words, the park and the hospital are separated by a hospital.

Thus, the answer must indicate 'separation' of two objects.

Option A is incorrect. 'of' is used to indicate 'possession or association' and not 'separation'. For example, king of France; property of the church.

Option B is incorrect. 'to' is used to indicate 'direction' or 'destination' and not 'separation'. For example, north to south; going to Dadar.

Option C is correct. 'from', in this case, indicates separation. 'across the street from' indicates a 'separation' of a street between the subject and the object of the sentence. Thus, it is correct.

Option D is incorrect. 'for' indicates 'purpose' and not separation. For example, to run for exercise.
