Question

Identify the correct sentence.

• A. The office is opposite to the bank.
• B. The office is opposite the bank.
• C. The office is opposite from the bank.
• D. The office is opposite of the bank.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To identify the correct sentence, we must understand the correct usage of the preposition "opposite". The word "opposite" typically doesn't require additional prepositions such as "to", "from", or "of". Therefore:

1. The office is opposite to the bank. - Incorrect. The use of "to" is redundant.
2. The office is opposite the bank. - Correct. This is the standard usage without any extra prepositions.
3. The office is opposite from the bank. - Incorrect. "From" is not needed here.
4. The office is opposite of the bank. - Incorrect. The use of "of" is unnecessary.

Thus, the grammatically correct sentence is: The office is opposite the bank.
