Question

Accepted Answer

To complete each sentence with the correct preposition, we need to determine the spatial relationship described. Here are the completed sentences with the most suitable prepositions based on common usage:

a. My glasses are **on** (the table/desk/etc.).  
(The exact location wasn't provided, but "on" is commonly used when talking about glasses resting on a surface.)

b. The backpack is **between** the book and the sofa.  
("Between" is used because the backpack is located in the middle of two objects.)

c. Her phone is **in** the box.  
("In" is used to indicate that something is enclosed or surrounded by something else.)

e. Betty is **behind** the book.  
("Behind" indicates that Betty is located at the back of the book, not visible from the front.)

d. The ruler is **among** the pencils.  
("Among" is used because the ruler is located with multiple objects (pencils) surrounding it or in close association.)

f. The pencils are **between** the books.  
("Between" is typically used when referring to two items, but assuming the intent was to describe pencils lying in the gap of two books or similar, "between" is appropriate. If the pencils were scattered around several books, "among" would be a better choice.)

Please note that for some of these completions, the context might slightly alter the best choice of preposition (for example, if multiple books are involved with the pencils, "among" might be more fitting than "between").
