Answer 1

Answer: (D)

through/in/from

Option "D" is the correct answer.

EXPLANATION :-

A Preposition is a word used to link noun, pronoun or phrases to other words within a sentence.

In the first blank, preposition "through" will be used because preposition "through" is used to indicate the 'source' or 'with the help of' ( the caption looked with the help of glasses).

In the second blank, preposition "in" will be used because preposition "in" is used to indicate a location or place ( the sea).

In the third blank, preposition "from" will be used because preposition "from" is used to refer to origins ( from the ship).
