    Question

    Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
    My friends are on a trip to the world.

    A.

    in the world

    B.

    by the world

    C.

    within the world

    D.

    around the world

    Correct option is D


    The correct replacement is (d) around the world.
    Explanation:
    The phrase "around the world" is commonly used to describe traveling to different parts of the world. "To the world" is incorrect as it implies reaching a single destination rather than moving around.
    Correct sentence: My friends are on a trip around the world.
    Grammatical rule used: When describing global travel or visiting multiple places, "around" is the correct preposition to use.
    Explanation of the grammatical rule in Hindi: "Around" का उपयोग तब किया जाता है जब दुनिया या किसी स्थान के विभिन्न हिस्सों की यात्रा को व्यक्त किया जाता है।
    Meanings of other options in detail:
    · (a) in the world:
    · Incorrect: Implies being inside the world, not traveling globally.
    · (b) by the world:
    · Incorrect: Does not fit the context; "by" indicates proximity or method.
    · (c) within the world:
    · Incorrect: Implies being confined inside the world, not traveling around it.
