Question

Identify and use prepositional phrase:
I am standing here ______ my employees.

• A. on
• B. on behalf of
• C. with
• D. for

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

on behalf of

Prepositional phrases are a group of words containing preposition which lacks either a verb or a subject. Such phrases always have two basic parts: object and preposition. Prepositions are mostly followed by objects.

Using option B will justify all the above rules. 'On behalf of' is the preposition and 'employees' is the object. 'On behalf of my employees' is a prepositional phrase.

Options A, C, and D are not creating prepositional phrases with object 'employees'.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.
