Question

Fill in the blanks with the correct preposition. Jagdish is waiting for me \(\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\) the campus.
 

• A. In
• B. On
• C. At
• D. Out

Hint:

Use 'on' for large, open areas like a campus, an island, or a farm. Use 'in' for enclosed spaces or cities/countries. Use 'at' for specific points or addresses.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

This question tests the correct usage of prepositions of place. \[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{In: Used for enclosed spaces or larger geographical areas (in the room, in the city).} \\ \bullet & \text{On: Used for surfaces or for locations within a larger area like a campus, island, or farm.} \\ \bullet & \text{At: Used for specific points or addresses (at the bus stop, at 24 Park Street).} \\ \end{array}\] For a large, open area like a university campus, the standard English preposition is "on". The correct sentence is "Jagdish is waiting for me on the campus." While 'at' might be used informally, 'on' is considered more formally correct for a campus.
