Question

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
He did not die _____ hunger or cholera. He died _____ an accident.

• A. from / at
• B. on / in
• C. in / at
• D. of / in

Answer 1

The correct option is D of / 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 option D) of/in as 'of' and 'in' indicates cause and situation respectively.

'From', 'on' and 'in' cannot be used in the first blank as they indicate a source, position, and location within a larger area respectively. 'At' cannot be used in the second blank as it indicates location.

He did not die of hunger or cholera. He died in an accident.
