Answer 1

I might be late for dinner because I am under a pile of papers at work.

Explanation:

• This question doesn’t have any instructions, so again it’s a personal choice question.
• The sentence says to fill up a blank with a word.
• The subject here tells that he will be late for dinner, just because he has many work to do.
• This is a phrase which says the amount of work he has to do.
• Thus, the appropriate word here is under.
• Thus, the sentence becomes –
• I might be late for dinner because, I am under a pile of papers at work.
