Question

Select the sentence with the appropriate use of preposition.

A.

They rise with the morning lark and labour till almost dark.

B.

They rise with the morning lark and labour utmost almost dark.

C.

They rise with the morning lark and labour by almost dark.

D.

They rise with the morning lark and labour still almost dark.

Correct option is A

The correct sentence with appropriate use of preposition is option (a) They rise with the morning lark and labour till almost dark.
Explanation:

  • The preposition “till” is used to indicate the continuation of an action up to a point in time. In this sentence, "labour till almost dark" means they work continuously until it becomes almost dark.
  • This prepositional use is both grammatically and semantically accurate.

Grammatical rule used:
Use "till/until" to refer to time up to a specific limit.
Example: She studied till midnight.

Incorrect Options: · (b) utmost almost dark – “Utmost” is not a preposition and does not make sense here. (Hindi: "अत्यधिक")
· (c) by almost dark – “By” implies a deadline rather than continuous action. (Hindi: "तक")
· (d) still almost dark – “Still” means "up to now", which is incorrect in this time context. (Hindi: "अबतक")
