• A. the, the, and, the
• B. off, on
• C. off, and
• D. and, on

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

off, on

The correct answer is Option B.

We are to identify the prepositions in the given sentence.

A preposition is a word that indicates position.

In the given sentence off and on are the prepositions because they indicate the position of the cat.

Hence option B is the correct answer.

Option A is incorrect because THE is an article.

Option C is incorrect because though off is a preposition, AND is an article.

Option D is incorrect because though ON is a preposition, AND is an article.
