Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
"Where were you at 2:00?" "________ the basement."

• A. In
• B. On
• C. At
• D. By

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

In

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 A) in as it indicates a place within a larger area.

'On', 'at' and 'by' cannot be used here as they indicate a position, a location and the usage of an agent.

"Where were you at 2:00?" "In the basement."
