Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
They arrived _______ the airport on time.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct option to fill in the blank is ‘at’.
Explanation:
At: This preposition is used for specific locations or points on a journey, such as an airport, station, or office.
In: Generally used for larger geographical areas like cities (e.g., "arrived in London") or countries. It can be used for "the airport" only if you are emphasizing being physically inside the building.
On: Used for surfaces (e.g., "on the table") or specific days/dates, but not for arriving at a destination like an airport.
Over: Indicates movement above something or a position higher than something, which does not fit the context of arrival.
Complete sentence: They arrived at the airport on time.
