    Question

    Choose the best option to fill in the blank.
    I jumped over the wall and fell straight _________ the garden.

    A.

    within

    B.

    to

    C.

    through

    D.

    into

    Correct option is D


    The word that can be filled in the blank is ‘into’ to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
    · ‘Into’ indicates movement towards the inside of a space, suggesting that the speaker fell from outside to the inside of the garden after jumping over the wall.
    · In the context of the sentence, the action of jumping over the wall logically leads to falling into the garden, which is the intended meaning.
    Meanings of other given words:
    · " Within," which suggests being inside a place but does not convey movement into it. It does not fit the grammatical context and is not a valid word in standard English.
    · To: This preposition indicates direction or destination but does not imply entering a space. Saying "fell straight to the garden" implies reaching the garden but does not indicate that the speaker actually landed inside it.
    · Through: This preposition implies movement from one side to another within a space but does not clearly indicate entering the garden. Using "through" in this context would suggest passing through the garden rather than falling into it.
    Thus, all the other given words do not fit the context of the sentence correctly, making ‘into’ the most appropriate choice for completing the sentence.
