Example:
· The fire was dangerous, but now it is under control.

Grammatical Rule Used:
“Under” is used as a preposition of condition/state, especially in expressions like "under pressure", "under observation", "under control".
Information Booster:
Prepositions like “under”, “over”, “beneath”, “beside” have idiomatic usages that are fixed and should not be changed unless the meaning changes.
