JK High Court Junior Assistant Official Paper (Held On: 29 Apr, 2024)

Answer 1

The correct answer is Option 4.

Key Points

The sentence requires a preposition that indicates removal from the table.
The correct preposition to use is "off" as it indicates the action of taking something away from the surface of the table.
The other options "by," "for," and "too" do not fit the context of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

Correct Sentence: "When we get ready for dinner, I have to take my books off the table."

Additional Information

Option 1: "by" – This preposition indicates proximity but does not convey the action of removal from the table.
Option 2: "for" – This preposition indicates purpose but is not suitable for the context of removal.
Option 3: "too" – This is an adverb indicating excess or addition, and is not a suitable preposition for this sentence.
