गृहं _____ वृक्षाः सन्ति । रिक्तस्थानं पूरयत

Question

Accepted Answer

Explanation:

The sentence given is "गृहं _____ वृक्षाः सन्ति ।" which translates to "Trees are _____ the house." The task is to fill in the blank with the correct preposition that logically completes the sentence.

1. **Option 2: परितः**  
   The word "परितः" means "around" or "surrounding." When we use "परितः" in the sentence, it becomes "गृहं परितः वृक्षाः सन्ति ।" which translates to "Trees are around the house." This makes logical sense as it describes the spatial relationship of the trees being situated around the house. Therefore, Option 2 is the correct choice as it accurately conveys the intended meaning of the sentence.

2. **Option 1: प्रति**  
   The word "प्रति" means "towards" or "in the direction of." If we use "प्रति" in the sentence, it would imply "Trees are towards the house," which does not logically describe the spatial arrangement of trees in relation to the house. Therefore, Option 1 is incorrect.

3. **Option 3: सह**  
   The word "सह" means "with." Using "सह" in the sentence would imply "Trees are with the house," which is not a correct or logical way to describe the positioning of trees in relation to the house. Therefore, Option 3 is incorrect.

4. **Option 4: विना**  
   The word "विना" means "without." If we use "विना" in the sentence, it would imply "Trees are without the house," which does not make sense in the context of describing the location of trees. Therefore, Option 4 is incorrect.

In conclusion, Option 2 "परितः" is the correct choice as it accurately describes the spatial relationship of the trees being around the house, which is the logical and intended meaning of the sentence.
