Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.
The boy was leaning against the pillar ______ his hands ______ his pockets.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. With; in.
- For the second blank, 'in' will be appropriate because the hands are inside the pocket.
- Only options 2 and 4 contain 'in'.
- So option 1 and 3 are eliminated.
- Out of 'for' and 'with', 'with' will be appropriate as 'for' is used to indicate the purpose.
- But no purpose is mentioned here.
As the chosen option provides a meaningful sentence it will be correct.
