Question

Choose the right preposition to fill up the blank: The whole family got together \(\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\) Diwali

• A. of
• B. at
• C. in
• D. till

Hint:

Remember: "at" is the standard preposition used for festivals and specific occasions (at Diwali, at Christmas, at the party).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

 

Step 1: Understand the sentence
"The whole family got together _____ Diwali" means the reunion happened on the occasion of Diwali. We must use the preposition that fits events/festivals.
 

Step 2: Evaluate options
(A) of Diwali — incorrect usage, not idiomatic in English. 
(B) at Diwali — correct idiom. We say "at Christmas," "at Diwali," "at Easter," etc., to refer to festive occasions. 
(C) in Diwali — unnatural; "in" is used for months/years ("in October," "in 2022"), not for festivals. 
(D) till Diwali — means "up to Diwali," changes the meaning of the sentence completely. 
\[ \boxed{\text{The whole family got together at Diwali.}} \]
