Question

Fill in the blank with suitable word:
Simon is standing _____ me.

• A. over
• B. on
• C. beside
• D. at

Hint:

“Beside” means next to, while “besides” means in addition—don’t confuse them.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Use {beside} to indicate “next to” or “by the side of”.
Step 1: Understand the sentence.
\[ {“standing ___ me”} \Rightarrow {position next to someone} \]
Step 2: Evaluate options.

• (A) over $\times$ above
• (B) on $\times$ touching surface
• (C) beside \checkmark next to
• (D) at $\times$ general location

Hence, the correct answer is beside.
