Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

Watch your step with Dad. He's _____ a terrible mood.

• A. In
• B. On
• C. Out of
• D. Of

Answer 1

The correct option is A In

Preposition 'in' is used to show a state or condition. Hence, Option A is the correct answer as it brings out the intended meaning of the sentence implying that Dad;s mood is terrible. Preposition 'on' means 'on the top of' or 'on the surface of,' 'out of' is generally used to show what something is made from, and 'of' is used to indicate reference or amount generally. So, Options B, C and D do not bring out the intended meaning of the sentence and hence, cannot be used here.
