    Question

    Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted word in the given sentence.
    The culprit had been shot from the back by the police inspector.

    A.

    to

    B.

    in

    C.

    by

    D.

    off

    Correct option is B


    The correct preposition to replace "from" is "in."
    · The preposition "in" is used to describe a specific location or part of the body where an action, like being shot, occurred. "From" is incorrect in this context as it implies direction rather than location.
    · Correct sentence: The culprit had been shot in the back by the police inspector.
    · Grammatical Rule Used: When describing injuries or wounds, we use "in" to specify the body part affected.
    · Explanation of the grammatical rule in Hindi: "In" का उपयोग शरीर के उस हिस्से को व्यक्त करने के लिए किया जाता है जहाँ पर क्रिया हुई हो। "From" का उपयोग दिशा या स्रोत व्यक्त करने के लिए होता है।
    Meanings of other options:
    · To: Suggests movement toward something, not applicable here.
    · Hindi: की ओर।
    · By: Indicates the agent performing the action, already correctly used in the sentence for the inspector.
    · Hindi: द्वारा।
    · Off: Suggests separation or detachment, which is irrelevant here.
    · Hindi: अलग।
