Question

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
He has applied _____ the bank _____ a loan.

• A. at / for
• B. on / for
• C. for / for
• D. to / on

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

at / for

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 A) at/ for as 'at' answers the question of where( the bank) and 'for' indicates a purpose (a loan).

Option B and C are not correct as the first blank can not take 'on'( indicates a position) and 'for' (indicates a purpose).

Option D is not correct as 'to'(gives a direction) and 'on' (indicates a position) can not be used in the first and second blank respectively.

He has applied at the bank for a loan.
