• B. at
• C. for
• D. on

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

at

Answer : B

Prepositions are words that are used to show relation of a noun to another element (noun/adjective/verb) in the sentence.

Let's take a look at the options:

• to : It is used to express something in a direction, a pointing-away direction
• at : It is used to an exact place or event where something is situated or happens
• for : It is NOT a preposition of Place
• on : It is used to refer to the relative placement of something over/attached to/ next to something else

The most appropriate word here is "at", as we the speaker is referring to an exact location, i.e. the station.

Thus, the correct complete sentence is:

We arrived AT the station five minutes late.
