Question

Fill up the blank with the suitable preposition The cliff hangs ............. the sea.

• A. on
• B. at
• C. from
• D. over

Answer 1

Answer:

D. over

• The correct expression is “hang over”, which means to be above something, usually in a dangerous or threatening way.

Why not others?

• on ❌ → not used with “hang” in this sense

• at ❌ → incorrect usage

• from ❌ → “hang from” means suspended by something (e.g., a rope)
