Fill in the blanks with the most suitable option:
They certainly weren't ________ the table or _______ the floor.

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

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

on / on

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 D) on/on as they indicate different positions respectively.

'In' and 'at' cannot be used in the first blank as they indicate a place within a large area , and a location respectively.

'In' cannot be used in the second blank as it indicates a place , not a position.

They certainly weren't on the table or on the floor.
