    • In the road

    • At the road

    • On the road

    Correct Answer
    A. On the road
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "on the road" because when we talk about the location of something, we use "on" to indicate a surface or a position that is directly in contact with a surface. In this case, "on the road" means that something is located directly on the surface of the road.

    • In the space

    • On the space

    • At the space

    Correct Answer
    A. In the space
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "in the space" because when we refer to a physical location, we use "in" to indicate being inside or within that location. In this case, "in the space" suggests that something is located inside a specific area or room designated as the "space."

    • On school

    • At school

    • In school

    Correct Answer
    A. At school
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "at school" because it is the most commonly used preposition to indicate the location of someone or something in relation to a school. "In school" could also be used to refer to being inside the building, while "on school" is not a grammatically correct phrase.

    • In the station

    • At the station

    • On the station

    Correct Answer
    A. At the station
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "at the station" because "at" is used to indicate a specific location or position. In this case, "at the station" indicates being physically present or located at the station. "In the station" would imply being inside the station building, while "on the station" does not make sense in this context.

    • In prison

    • At prison

    • On prison

    Correct Answer
    A. In prison
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "in prison" because it is the correct preposition to use when referring to someone being confined or serving a sentence within a prison facility. The preposition "in" indicates the location or position inside the prison.

    In on or at?

    • In an island

    • On an island

    • At an island

    Correct Answer
    A. On an island
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "on an island" because when referring to the location of an island, we use the preposition "on." This indicates that something is situated or located on the surface of the island. The preposition "in" is used when referring to being inside something, and "at" is used to indicate a specific point or place. Since we are discussing the location of the island itself, "on" is the appropriate preposition.

     in on or at

    • In the beach

    • At the beach

    • On the beach

    Correct Answer
    A. On the beach
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "on the beach" because when we refer to a specific location like a beach, we use the preposition "on" to indicate being physically present or situated on the surface of the beach. "In" typically refers to being inside a confined space, while "at" is used to indicate a general location or proximity. Therefore, in this context, "on the beach" is the most appropriate preposition to describe being physically present on the surface of the beach.

    • In a conference

    • At a conference

    • On a conference

    Correct Answer
    A. At a conference
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "at a conference." This is because the preposition "at" is used to indicate a specific location or event. In this case, the word "conference" represents a specific event, and therefore, the correct preposition to use is "at."

    • At the street

    • In the street

    • On the street

    Correct Answer
    A. In the street
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "in the street" because the preposition "in" is used to indicate location within a specific area or space. In this case, "in the street" implies being inside or within the boundaries of the street. On the other hand, "at the street" suggests being near or beside the street, while "on the street" typically refers to being on the surface or pavement of the street.
