Re-write the following sentences after filling in the blanks with an appropriate preposition.
Question#2
______ luck, we should be in Islamabad by 5 p.m.
Explanation
With Luck (Phrase) means: Showing a hope that something is going to happen in the way described. So, the correct preposition is “With”.
Thus, the right answer is,
With luck, we should be in Islamabad by 5 p.m.
Question#3
He went ______ his own accord; nobody forced him to go.
Explanation
In this sentence, we need the preposition “Of”, because the correct expression is “Of One’s Own Accord”. That means a person does something because he wants to do it intentionally.
Thus, the right answer is,
He went of his own accord; nobody forced him to go.
Question#4
My husband brought me some flowers today. He must be _______ something!
Explanation
This sentence can be corrected by using multiple idiomatic expressions.
- Be On For Something (Idiom)
To want to do something special.
- Onto Something (Idiom)
Having done something important or special that has already been planned or discussed.
Thus, the right answer is,
My husband brought me some flowers today. He must be on for something!
Question#5
My younger son tripped _________ the cat and fell downstairs.
Explanation
Trip (verb) means: To catch the foot against something so as to stumble
We always “Trip Over / Trip On” someone or something. So, there is a cat in this sentence. Thus, the right answer is ” On / Over.”
Thus, the right answer is,
My younger son tripped on the cat and fell downstairs.
My younger son tripped over the cat and fell downstairs.
Question#6
You look really _______ the weather. Are you ill?
Explanation
Under the weather (Phrase) means: Unwell or indisposed. So if we say that we are under the weather, it means that we feel slightly ill. So, the correct preposition here is “Under“.
Thus, the right answer is,
You look really under the weather. Are you ill?
Question#8

Explanation
Be In Ruins (Phrase) means: Spoiled or destroyed. If something is in ruins, it means it is completely destroyed. So, the correct preposition here is “In“.
