Question

Select the sentence with the correct use of preposition. If there is no error, select ‘No error’.

A.

No error

B.

It is not a safe neighborhood to live on.

C.

It is not a safe neighborhood to live for.

D.

It is not a safe neighborhood to live in.

Correct option is D


Option (d) is the sentence with the correct use of preposition.
• The correct phrase is “to live in” when referring to a place or location. "Neighborhood" refers to a physical place, and the preposition “in” correctly shows the relationship of living within that place.
Grammatical rule used: Use “in” to indicate location or place, especially when referring to where someone lives, stays, or exists.
Explanation of the grammatical rule in Hindi: जब किसी स्थान में रहने की बात होती है, तो “in” का प्रयोग किया जाता है।
Example: She lives in a quiet neighborhood.
Meanings of incorrect options:
• No error: Incorrect here because only option (d) is correct.
Hindi meaning: वाक्य में त्रुटि है
• Live on: Used for surfaces or for sources of livelihood (e.g., live on an island / live on savings).
Hindi meaning: किसी सतह पर या किसी चीज़ पर निर्भर रहना
• Live for: Indicates purpose or reason (e.g., He lives for music).
Hindi meaning: किसी उद्देश्य के लिए जीना
