Answer 1

Answer:

'Into' is the right answer.

Answer 2

He broke the jug into a hundred pieces.

Explanation:

• Prepositions are words that relate the position of noun with the rest of the sentence. They tell about the posture of it.
• Some of the prepositions include: on, in, to, up, down, behind, near, over, beside, beneath, etc.,
• Sometimes two prepositions may be combined to form a new preposition and they may provide a new meaning as well.
• Some of which are: into, upto, upon, etc.,
• The preposition 'into' means that something is getting transformed from one kind to another kind. It can get transformed in its size or form.
• Here, the jug is getting transformed to pieces. So we can use the preposition 'into'.
• Therefore the answer will be: into.
