Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
They went _____ sleep for several days.

• A. without
• B. out of
• C. for
• D. off

Answer 1

The correct option is A without

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.

The correct answer is option A)without as 'without' indicates exclusion of something (sleep).

'Out of' , 'for' and 'off' can not be used here as they indicate leaving a thing from other thing, a purpose and leaving a place suddenly respectively.

They went without sleep for several days.
