Question

Fill in the blanks with suitable prepositions:
He got used _______ funny customs, living ________ the country.

• A. To / in
• B. Of / in
• C. In / at
• D. For / in

Answer 1

The correct option is A To / in

We can determine the correct answer with the help of logic and by eliminating the incorrect answer.

The first part of the sentence indicates attachment. The preposition 'of', 'in' and 'for' are not used to indicate attachment. We can thus eliminate options B,C,D as incorrect.

'To' is used to indicate direction, purpose, limit, attachment, comparing and
'In' is used to indicate place, time, position, occupation, state, subject or matter. The second part of the sentence indicates his stay within the country. So, 'in'must fulfill the second blank. Thus option A is the correct answer.
