Question

Fill in the blanks with suitable prepositions:
I was ________ work when thieves broke _________ our house.

• A. In / in
• B. At / in
• C. On / to
• D. At / into

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

At / into

At is used to indicate a point of time or place, state, direction. age or occupation, degree. The first part of the given sentence indicates a place or state. So, the first blank must be filled with the preposition 'at'.

Options A and C can be thus eliminated as incorrect answer.

Into means inside something. It also indicates movement. Thus 'into' fulfills the second blank of the given sentence.

Thus option D is the correct answer.
