Question

Insert suitable preposition to complete the sentence:

There were hundreds of people ______ the park.

• A. at
• B. upon
• C. on
• D. with
• E. in

Answer 1

The correct option is A at

The given sentence speaks about a specific location or place. Therefore 'at' is the suitable answer, since 'at' is used to show a specific location or place. Thus option A is correct. On the other hand 'upon' is used to position something in above and 'on' is also used to position something above. Thus they are inappropriate for the sentence. The preposition 'with' is used to depict a company while 'in' is used to describe something's location within a territory. Hence option D and E are incorrect and unsuitable in the given context.

The completed sentence thus becomes: There were hundreds of people at the park.
