EngQuizzitive - CET 5 (vocab): Answers : NMAT

Last year NMAT had 4 questions where in a student had to fill in the blanks using the appropriate prepositions. This quiz was aimed at giving you practice on these kind of questions.I have tried to emulate the difficulty level of NMAT in this quiz.

Answers
  1. The best detective novels have a strong plot line and within this basic structure there are a number of minor climaxes.
  2. Until about nine months ago,John was in excellent health.
  3. At 15,Anthony left school and found a job in a factory.
  4. Finally he caught up with us. [caught up with is a phrasal verb which means met]
  5. I advised him to stop mooning about the tragedy and concentrate on work.
For the theory on the usage of prepositions check the following two links :
