Question

Varanasi is standing on the Ganga correct the sentence
​

Answer 1

The sentence can be corrected as follows:

Varanasi is standing in the Ganga.

• We cannot use the preposition 'on' in the sentence above because the preposition 'on' is used when a thing is present on top of another thing which is not the case in the above mentioned sentence,
• We use the preposition 'in' when mentioning something present inside another thing. As Varanasi is present inside the river, hence we know that the correct preposition to use in the sentence will be 'in'.

Answer 2

Answer:

Varanasi is standing in the Ganga.

Explanation:

We can't use the preposition 'on' in the preceding sentence since the preposition 'on' is only used when something is on top of something else, which isn't the situation here.

When referring to something that is contained within another thing, the preposition 'in' is used.
