Question

He is playing football _______ the ground. Choose the correct answer.

• A. in
• B. on
• C. at
• D. by

Answer 1

Answer:

B. on

• In:

  • "In" is used to denote something that is enclosed or within boundaries (അതിരുകൾക്കുള്ളിലോ), such as "in the room" or "in the park." While you might say "in the field" or "in the park," for playing on a surface like a sports ground, "on" is more appropriate.

• On:

  • "On" is the correct preposition for playing a sport on a surface. It indicates that the activity is taking place on the surface of the ground. For example, "on the field," "on the court," and "on the ground" are all correct usages.

• At:

  • "At" is used to denote a specific location or point, such as "at the stadium" or "at the park," but it is not specific enough to describe playing on the surface of the ground.

• By:

  • "By" indicates proximity or being next to something, such as "by the side of the ground," but it is not correct for describing the action of playing directly on the surface.
