    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
