Question

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
Snow fluttered in Josie’s window as she got ready for work.

A.

inside Josie’s window

B.

outside Josie’s window

C.

at Josies window

D.

No substitution required

Correct option is B

Option b is correct.
Use the preposition “outside” because snow occurs outdoors; “fluttered outside Josie’s window” is the natural, idiomatic expression.
Why not (a) inside…: Snow does not flutter inside a closed window; this is illogical in normal context.
Why not (c) at Josies window: “at” is a point-location preposition and sounds awkward here; also Josie’s needs an apostrophe (possessive).
Why not (d) No substitution: “in Josie’s window” is incorrect in standard usage for falling snow.
Correct: Snow fluttered outside Josie’s window as she got ready for work.
