    Fill in the blanks with correct options (prepositions).
    There is a bridge built ____ the river.

    A)  on         

    B)         over      

    C)  above 

    D)         upon

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] is correct. The word 'over7 is similar to 'above7 but for an object not too distant and with a definite distance, 'above7 is not applicable as that would mean all over the river and with no limitation of distance like in case of 'sky7. 'Over7 also indicates the connecting of the outer two sides of the river by the bridge, 'on7 is not applicable as the bridge is not touching the river like in case of 'on the table7, 'upon7 is used for things alongside the river bank, like in case of 'Varanasi upon the Ganges7.
