2. He should stop spinning her ..., she'll be sick!

Explanation

Spinning someone around can cause dizziness and nausea, especially if done repeatedly. The phrase "she'll be sick" suggests that the person being spun around is at risk of getting sick due to the spinning motion. Therefore, the correct answer is "around" as it indicates the circular motion that should be stopped to prevent sickness.

Submit
3. ​You have to drive ... a tunnel to get to the Barachois.

Explanation

To get to the Barachois, you have to drive through a tunnel. This means that the tunnel is the pathway or route that you need to take in order to reach your destination. Driving "up," "across," or "down" a tunnel would not make sense in this context, as it is not describing the direction in which you need to travel. Therefore, the correct answer is "through."

Submit
4. I had to walk ... the club. There was so much smoke!

Explanation

The phrase "out of" is the correct answer because it indicates leaving or exiting a place. In this context, the speaker had to walk out of the club because there was a lot of smoke inside. The word "out" suggests moving away or escaping from the smoke-filled environment.

Submit
5. Why didn't she climb ... that ladder?

Explanation

The question is asking why she didn't climb a ladder in a specific direction. The correct answer is "up" because climbing a ladder typically involves moving in an upward direction.

Submit
6. "Step ... the car please sir."

Explanation

The correct answer is "out of." This preposition is used to indicate movement from inside a place or object to the outside. In this context, it suggests that the speaker is requesting the person to exit the car.

Submit
7. My phone will cut out in a moment, I'm about to go ... a tunnel.

Explanation

The correct answer is "into". This is because when someone is about to go into a tunnel, they expect their phone signal to be cut off. The word "into" indicates movement towards the inside of something, in this case, the tunnel.

Submit
8. Come ... from there!

Explanation

The phrase "Come down from there!" is a common expression used to tell someone to descend or move in a downward direction from a higher position. Therefore, the correct answer is "down" as it accurately completes the sentence and conveys the intended meaning.

Submit
9. Those idiots just jumped ... a cliff!

Explanation

The correct answer is "off". This preposition is used to indicate movement away from a surface or position, which fits the context of the sentence. The phrase "jumped off a cliff" implies that the idiots leaped away from the cliff.

Submit
10. Spiderman is jumping ... a car.

Explanation

Spiderman is jumping from one car, “onto” another car. This would make the answer “onto” because he is not going in or out of it, just on top of it. 

Submit
11. The car is driving ... me.

Explanation

The correct answer is "towards" because it indicates the direction in which the car is driving in relation to the speaker. It implies that the car is moving closer to the speaker or in the same direction as the speaker, illustrated in the photo as the car is facing the speaker.

Submit
12. James hiked ... Piton des Neiges; he really enjoyed it.

Explanation

The preposition "up" is commonly used in the context of hiking or climbing to indicate movement in an upward or ascending direction. It helps provide a clear and concise description of the direction of the hike and adds details to the narrative, indicating the challenging and upward nature of the terrain being hiked.

Submit
13. We're walking ... the market in St Pierre.

Explanation

The correct answer is "to" because it indicates the direction in which the speaker is walking, towards the market.

Submit
14. When I walked ... the nightclub, my friends called me.

Explanation

The correct answer is "into." This preposition is used to indicate movement or direction towards the inside or interior of a place. In this context, the sentence suggests that the speaker entered the nightclub, and as a result, their friends called them.

Submit
15. I am not walking ... that!

Explanation

The phrase "I am not walking across that!" implies that the speaker does not want to walk from one side to the other side of something. The word "across" is the correct answer because it best fits the context of the sentence and conveys the intended meaning. The other options, "along," "down," and "up," do not accurately describe the action of walking from one side to the other.

Submit
16. I enjoy driving ... the Route des Tamarins.

Explanation

The correct answer is "along." This word suggests that the speaker enjoys driving in close proximity to the Route des Tamarins, indicating that they may be driving beside or parallel to the road. The other options, such as "through," "around," and "across," do not convey the same sense of driving in close proximity to the road.

Submit
17. You have to drive ... La Riviere to get to Cilaos.

Explanation

To get to Cilaos from La Riviere, you have to drive through. This implies that there is a direct route or road that connects the two locations, and you need to follow that route to reach Cilaos. Driving through suggests that you will be passing through the area or region between La Riviere and Cilaos, rather than going around or bypassing it.

Submit
18. The car is driving ... me.

Explanation

The correct answer is "away from." This suggests that the car is moving in a direction that is opposite to the speaker's location or position. The phrase "away from" implies that the car is driving in a direction that is further from the speaker, indicating that they are moving apart from each other.

Submit
19. This weekend we're hiking ... the volcano.

Explanation

The correct answer is "to" because when we say "hiking to the volcano," it implies that our destination or goal is to reach the volcano. The preposition "to" indicates movement towards a specific place or location, which aligns with the idea of hiking towards the volcano.
