Fill in the blank with the most suitable word from the options given below:

They preserved the dead bodies by turning them ____________ mummies.

• A. by
• B. with
• C. without
• D. into

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

into

Option 'D' is the correct answer. The preposition "by" is used to show the position of one thing with reference to another. The prepositions "with" and "without" are used to denote the presence and absence of something with reference to the object in question. The sentence states that they are preserving dead bodies by changing their state. The preposition "into" is used to show a change in state. Therefore, it is the correct answer.
