Question

Fill in the blanks with suitable prepositions:
We won _______ two goals ________ nil.

• A. By / to
• B. With / by
• C. With / to
• D. By / in

Answer 1

The correct option is A By / to

The given sentence tells about a score. By is used to indicate measurements. Thus 'by' must fill the first blank of the given sentence.

We can thus eliminate options B and C as incorrect answers.

To is used to indicate limits. Thus 'to' must fill the second blank to complete the meaning of the sentence. Thus option A is the correct answer.
