Question

the lion sprang ......... the prey​

Answer 1

The lion sprang upon the prey​

Explanation:

• A preposition is a word that connects nouns, phrases, or pronouns to other words within the sentence. A preposition connects people, time, locations, & objects of the sentence. Prepositions are generally short words, and they are usually placed directly in front of nouns
• "Upon" is preposition. Although the word "upon" has the same meaning as on, it is generally used in more formal contexts/phrases. "Upon" can also be used to show that something takes place soon after & often due to something else.

"Upon" is more formal than "on", however, it can be used with the "same meanings" as the preposition "on" in the following cases:

1. on/onto an surface/object, example, The box fell upon the ground.
2. supported by the part of the body, example, The child fell down upon its stomach.
3. looking at something, example, Sheena fixed her gaze upon James.
