1. the cat is hiding ______ the bed because it is scared of the vacuum. *

a) through
b) under
c) between
d) on

Explanation:

For question 11:

• Option a describes a verb, not a preposition.
• Option b correctly defines a preposition, as prepositions show spatial, temporal, or logical relationships between a noun/pronoun and other sentence elements.
• Option c describes an adjective, not a preposition.
• Option d describes a pronoun, not a preposition.

For question 12:

• "Through" implies moving from one side to another, which does not fit a cat hiding from a vacuum.
• "Under" correctly describes the typical location a scared cat would hide relative to a bed.
• "Between" requires two separate objects, which is not present here.
• "On" would mean the cat is atop the bed, which is not a hiding spot from a vacuum.

Answer:

1. b) A word that shows the relationship (such as direction, time, or location) between a noun/pronoun and another part of the sentence.
2. b) under
