English question from Patwari exam, 2024 by JKSSB

Fill in the blank with appropriate prepositions from the alternatives given below.
He inserted a needle ____ the close petals of a flower.

Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Correct Answer: Option D — between
The preposition "between" is used when referring to a position in the middle of two or more distinct objects. Since a flower has multiple "close petals," the needle is being placed in the space separating them.
• In would imply the needle is inside a single petal.
• Upon suggests it is resting on top.
• At indicates a specific point but doesn't capture the relationship with the surrounding petals.

Answer verified by Quintessence Classes faculty — Karan Nagar, Srinagar.
