About prepositions and their usage:

• Prepositions are words that relate the position of noun with the rest of the sentence. They tell about the posture of it.
• Some of the prepositions include: on, in, to, up, down, behind, near, over, beside, beneath, etc.,
• Sometimes two prepositions may be combined to form a new preposition and they may provide a new meaning as well. Some of which are: into, upto, upon, etc.,

Finding out the preposition:

• In the question we have two options -'over' and 'across'
• 'Over' is used when something /someone moves from one side to another or also going high in height.
• Similarly, 'across' means moving from one side to another.
• But the difference between them is that 'over' is used when the height is greater than one who moves/ jumps; whereas, 'across' is used when there is no height in moving.
• (Eg): 'jumped over the desk', 'swam across the river'.
• Here the fence is height, and so we use 'over'.
• Therefore the answer: The boy jumped over the fence quickly.
