Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
The animal was hiding _________ a tree.

• A. in front of
• B. behind
• C. next to
• D. with

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

behind

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 B) behind as it indicates a position just next in the line after the first one( a tree).

'In front of' , 'next to' and 'with' cannot be used here as they indicate a position before something, after something and inclusion of something/someone in an activity.

The animal was hiding behind a tree.
