SSC Stenographer - 07 Aug 2025 - Shift 2 • English • Q177

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

The train arrived late ______ the station.  

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Preposition Usage: In English, we use the preposition "at" when referring to a specific point or location, such as a building or a destination like a station.

Arrival: While "arrived in" is used for large areas like cities or countries (e.g., arrived in London), "arrived at" is the standard phrasing for specific arrival points like airports, stations, or hotels.

The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is at.

The complete sentence is: "The train arrived late at the station."
