Answer 1

Answer:

the idler was standing in the street

Answer 2

Preposition

Answer.

• The idler was standing on the street.

Explanation.

• We have to fill the blank with appropriate preposition.

• We must know that prepositions are used to relate two Nouns; expressively, position of one of the two Nouns with respect to the other.

• Here the idler is a pedestrian and he/ she was standing and the ground, he stands on, is the street and when a person stands on a place, we use on to indicate its position.

• Example. He is standing on the roof.
