141. The doctor gave me a prescription . . . . . . . . my cough.
a. for
b. with
c. at
d.

to

Option “A” is correct.
A preposition is a word which comes before a noun or a pronoun and establishes a relationship between the elements of a clause or words. Option D is correct as ‘for’ indicates a purpose. The other options are wrong as with, to, and at indicate inclusion, a direction, and a specific location respectively.
142. He gave a talk . . . . . . . . the causes of dengue fever.
a. of
b. on
c. for
d.

off

‘Option “B” is correct.
Talk on’ means ‘to speak continuously and at length’. Hence it makes the sentence meaningful.
143. You can see the doctor . . . . . . . . 8 am and 12 noon.
a. at
b. in
c. between
d.

on

Option “C” is correct.
‘Between’ means ‘in the period separating two points in time’. Here two points in time are 8 am and 12 noon. Hence ‘between’ makes the sentence meaningful.
144. Nowadays Raktim studies . . . . . . . . the whole day.
a. with
b. from
c. throughout
d.

under

Option “C” is correct.
‘Throughout’ means ‘in every part of’. Hence it makes the sentence meaningful.
145. May I come . . . . . . . .?
a. with
b. in
c. at
d.

Option “B” is correct.
‘Come in’ means ‘to enter a room, building, or other place’. Hence it makes the sentence meaningful.
146. My watch is . . . . . . . . the table.
a. in
b. at
c. on
d.

of

Option “C” is correct.
‘On’ is used to show that something is in a position above something else and touching it. Here ‘watch’ is above the ‘table’ and touching it.
147. Throw this pen . . . . . . . . the dustbin.
a. into
b. in
c. none
d.

on

Option “A” is correct.
As the ‘pen’ needs to be thrown inside the dustbin there are two options that can be correct i.e. ‘in’ and ‘into’. ‘In’ is used when something is within, i.e. one thing contains another. When someone or something comes from outside to the inside, we use the word ‘into’.
148. The kitchen is . . . . . . . . the back of the house.
a. about
b. in
c. of
d.

at

Option “D” is correct.
‘At’ indicates specific time, location or position. Hence it is the correct preposition to be used in the sentence.
149. The children were freed . . . . . . . . the danger.
a. of
b. from
c. with
d.

in

Option “B” is correct.

150. That child died . . . . . . . . heavy fever.
a. at
b. for
c. of

Option “C” is correct.
‘Died of’ means ‘to die because of (something)’. Hence it makes the sentence meaningful.
