Fill in the blanks with the correct prepositions: a) The cat jumped the table. b) She is afraid dogs.
1Answer
a) The cat jumped onto the table. b) She is afraid of dogs.
Explanation:
a) The correct preposition to use here is "onto" because it indicates movement to a surface or position on top of something. The cat is moving from the ground and landing on the table. Other possible prepositions like "over" or "across" would not fit in this context as they imply movement above or across without necessarily landing on the surface.
b) The correct preposition here is "of" because it is used to express fear or dislike of something. The sentence means that she feels fear when she sees or thinks about dogs. Other prepositions like "from" or "about" would not convey the same meaning in this context.
