Question

The treasure was buried ............................................. an old oak tree.

• A. at
• B. in
• C. beneath
• D. on

Answer 1

Answer:

C. beneath

“Beneath” means under something. A treasure is usually hidden under the ground, so beneath an old oak tree sounds natural and correct.

• at → shows a point/place, not suitable here

• in → used for enclosed spaces

• on → means on top of something
