Question and options
Directions: Choose the appropriate set of prepositions/articles that completes the sentence when filling the blanks in the given order.
They decided ______ meet ______ the Leela Palace hotel ______ 9 o'clock so that they could have their dinner well ______ time before the seminar.
- to, by, in, at
- to, at, by, in
- to, in, at, by
- at, by, in, to
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - to, at, by, in
The sentence reads: they decided to meet at the Leela Palace hotel by 9 o'clock so that they could have their dinner well in time before the seminar. "Decided" takes the infinitive "to", a place takes "at", a deadline takes "by", and the fixed phrase is "well in time". The sets beginning "to, by" or "to, in" put "by" or "in" before the hotel's name, which does not fit.
