Answer 2

Answer:

the boy jumped into the river

Explanation:

The prepositions ‘in’ and ‘into’ are often confused with one another. ‘In’ is used to refer to being inside something, while ‘into’ is used to denote the movement from outside to inside. Hence ‘in’ is inappropriate since the sentence highlights the movement from outside i.e. the shore, to inside i.e. the river, through the verb ‘jumped’. So ‘into’ is the apt answer. Thus option D is correct, whereas A is incorrect. Similarly the prepositions ‘under’ and ‘below’ are both used to speak about something that is vertically below something else or to speak about something that is lower than another object respectively. The boy is not ‘under’ or ‘below’ the river in the given context. He is jumping from the outside ‘into’ the river.
