Question
My watch is the table.
- A. In
- B. On (Correct answer)
- C. For
- D. None of the above
Correct Answer
Option B — On
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is On.
Key Points
- The correct sentence is: *My watch is on the table.*
- On indicates contact with a surface — the watch rests upon the upper surface of the table.
- In would mean enclosed within the table (as in a drawer), which changes the meaning entirely.
Additional Information
- The three basic position prepositions:
- In — inside an enclosed space or volume: *in the box, in the room, in the water*.
- On — touching a surface: *on the table, on the wall, on the floor*.
- At — a specific point or location: *at the door, at the bus stop, at home*.
- For expresses purpose or duration and cannot indicate physical position.
