Attempted by 96 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: across — He swam across the river to the other bank.
Explanation: Across is used to show movement from one side to the opposite side of something. In this sentence, it indicates that he moved from one bank of the river to the other.
"into" means entering the river (going inside the water), not necessarily reaching the opposite bank.
"in" indicates location within the river and does not express movement across to the other side.
"along" means moving parallel to the riverbank, not crossing to the opposite bank.
Tip: Use "across" when you want to express crossing from one side to the other (for example, across the street, across the bridge, across the field).
