GATE Civil 2023 Set 2 | GA Question: 1

Question

The line ran _________ the page, right through the centre, and divided the page into two. 

• A. across 
• B. of 
• C. between
• D. about 

Answer 1

Let’s dive into each option:

• A. "The line ran "across" the page" - This is the correct choice as it indicates the line extended horizontally from one side of the page to the other, dividing it into two parts.
• B. "The line ran "of" the page" - This doesn't make sense in this context. "Of" is not the appropriate preposition to describe the line's movement or position on the page.
• C. "The line ran "between" the page" - This also doesn't make sense. "Between" is used to describe a relationship between two or more objects, not the movement of a line across a page.
• D. "The line ran "about" the page" - "About" typically means around or near, and it doesn't accurately describe the movement of the line from one side to the other on the page.
