Question

the baby is sleeping ____the bed




​

Answer 1

Answer:

The baby is sleeping on the bed.

Explanation:

"On" is an adverb of place. Since, we are given that the baby is sleeping and we are given a particular place where the baby is sleeping, we have to put a suitable adverb of  place to fill in. So, the adverb "on" fits in the sentence. We can't write that the baby sleeps under the bed or the baby sleeps in the bed, because that would change the simple meaning of the sentence.

Examples:

• He is playing in the park.
• She is hiding under the chair.
• An areoplane is flying over/above the clouds.
