    Question

    Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
    Who is talking in the phone?

    A.

    for

    B.

    on

    C.

    with

    D.

    at

    Correct option is B

    The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) on.
    Explanation:
    The correct preposition with “phone” in such contexts is “on”. We say “talk on the phone,” not in, at, or with.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    Certain verbs follow fixed prepositional collocations.
    · Talk on the phone
    · Talk with someone (person), but not "in" the phone
    Example:
    She is talking on the phone.
    Information Booster:
    “On” indicates the medium used for communication.
