Question

The work was done ……. haste.

• A. in
• B. at
• C. by
• D. for

Answer 1

Answer:

A. in

• The correct preposition is "in," as the phrase "in haste (തിടുക്കത്തിൽ)" means done quickly and often carelessly (വേഗത്തിലും പലപ്പോഴും അശ്രദ്ധമായും ചെയ്യുന്ന).
• The work was done in haste. / പണി തിടുക്കത്തിൽ ചെയ്തു.
• "At haste" is not idiomatic in English.
• "By haste" is not standard English usage.
• "For haste" is not idiomatic in English.
