Question

Tap the sentence that means:

‘Based on the officers’ opinion, the door to the basement was jammed.’

• A. The door to the basement was jammed according our officers.
• B. The door to the basement was jammed apart from our officers.

Answer 1

The correct option is A The door to the basement was jammed according our officers.

The phrasal preposition ‘according to’ is used to express someone else’s opinion. In the given sentence, ‘according to’ tells us about the officer’s opinion on the door of Ms Roy’s house. Therefore, it is the correct answer. However, the phrasal preposition ‘apart from’ is used to mean ‘except for’ or ‘excluding’ something. Therefore, it is the incorrect sentence.
