Question

Fill in the blank with suitable word: She walked ________ her house ________ the supermarket.

• A. onto, up to
• B. off, towards
• C. out of, on
• D. from, to

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The sentence is:

"She walked ________ her house ________ the supermarket."

The sentence describes movement starting from one place and ending at another. Therefore, the correct pair of prepositions should indicate the starting point and the destination.

Let us examine each option:

Option (1): onto, up to
"Onto" means moving onto a surface, and "up to" means as far as a place.
These do not correctly describe travelling from a house to a supermarket.

Option (2): off, towards
"Off" is used to indicate movement away from a surface, while "towards" means in the direction of.
This combination does not fit the sentence naturally.

Option (3): out of, on
Although "out of her house" is acceptable, "on the supermarket" is grammatically incorrect.
Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option (4): from, to
"From" indicates the starting point, and "to" indicates the destination.
This is the correct and natural pair of prepositions for the sentence.

Therefore, the sentence correctly reads: \[ \boxed{\text{She walked from her house to the supermarket.}} \] Hence, the correct answer is Option (4) – from, to.
