Answer 2

1. The teacher was standing behind the students.

The words that have been used above to fill in the blanks are prepositions.

• Prepositions are words that depict the time, distance, etc, of a subject or an object. It helps link subjects and develops a relationship between them.
• For example, The cat is under the table. Here, we understand that the subject i.e., the cat is under the table. Thus, we come to know about the cat's location.
• A very important point to be noted is multiple prepositions can be suitable for a case. For example, I am standing in front of/ behind/ beside the blue car parked beside/ opposite the candy shop. So you see, multiple prepositions can be used in some questions.
