Question

The question is based on Preposition.
David cleaned his room by stuffing everything ___ his bed.
A) in
B) on
C) under
D) along

Answer 1

Answer:

C) Under

Explanation:

Only two prepositions can be used correctly with an object bed out from the available alternatives.

On the bed and under the bed are two options.

Under is equivalent to below when used as a preposition. We use the word under to describe something that is beneath or beneath another.

There are two points that can be noted in this question:

1. It is clear that David was stuffing something in order to clean the room.
2. In this context, stuffing means filling a space tightly with something.

Therefore, the correct preposition that can be used in this given sentence is Under.

Answer 2

David cleaned his room by stuffing everything under his bed. (Option C)

• In the sentence, David cannot stuff everything on or along the bed.
• The stuff can be stored by him under his bed only and not in it.
• The preposition under is used when something is kept at a lower level than the other thing. Here, the stuff is kept at a lower level than the bed.
• It is used to mention the location of a noun.
