Question

Find out the correct preposition
He saved the goat ------------ killing the snake.

• A. into
• B. on
• C. of
• D. by

Hint:

Use "by'' to indicate the means or method used to perform an action. Example: "He escaped by jumping the fence.''

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The correct sentence is: "He saved the goat by killing the snake."
Here, "by" is used to indicate the means through which the action (saving the goat) was accomplished. Why other options are incorrect:
- "into" suggests movement and is grammatically incorrect here.
- "on" refers to surface contact, not appropriate in this context.
- "of" doesn’t convey causality or method.
