Question

Fill in the blanks with the correct pair of words.
He lives Bangaluru 115, Richmond Road.

• A. at - in
• B. in - at
• C. at - on
• D. in - on

Hint:

Use "in" for a wide area like a city and "at" for one exact address.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

This question checks how English uses "in" for a broad area and "at" for an exact point or address.

1. at - in: this reverses the pattern, using at for the city and in for the exact address, which does not match how these prepositions normally work.
2. in - at: in fits a large area like a city, and at fits a precise address like a house number. This matches standard usage.
3. at - on: at does not suit a whole city, and on is not the usual preposition before a specific street address like this.
4. in - on: in correctly fits the city, but on is not the standard preposition for a house number and road address here.

The correct sentence reads "He lives in Bangaluru at 115, Richmond Road," so option B, in - at, is correct.

Let's summarize:

• Use in for larger areas: cities, countries, regions.
• Use at for exact points: addresses, specific spots.

Picturing whether the place is a wide area or one exact spot helps choose in or at correctly.
