$\huge{\red{\boxed{\orange{\underbrace{\overbrace{\pink{AT}}}}}}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Correct Word: 'at'

Correct Sentence: He had a job at the dockyard.

In this sentence 'at' is used as a preposition because 'at' is used when you are at the top, bottom, or end of something, or at a specific address, or at a location, that is dockyard in this sentence. 'In' cannot be used in this because it is used to denote a space, vehicle, water, city, and country but a dockyard is a place and not any of these.

Explanation:

More about Prepositions:

• Definition: A preposition is a word that is generally small, common, shows direction, location, and denotes time.
• Prepositions are followed by an object, which can be a noun, or a pronoun. A sentence can be ended by a using preposition.
• Some commonly used prepositions are in, at, for, from, on, to, and with. Some other used prepositions are above, across, below, around, among, etc.

However, prepositions are limited in number but they are very important because they act as an important marker to the structure of a sentence, also, they mark relationships between persons, objects, and locations.
