Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: The phrase "I need to get to the house in" is incorrect.
Explanation: The preposition "in" is not used for a house on a road. Use "on" with a road or street, and use "at" when giving a specific address. "In" is used for enclosed spaces or areas (for example, in the city, in the building).
Correct with road name: I need to get to the house on Landsdowne Road by ten o'clock.
Correct with specific address: I need to get to the house at 10 Landsdowne Road by ten o'clock.
Note on verb usage: "get to" means to reach or arrive at a place, so the verb phrase is acceptable. The only grammatical error is the choice of preposition.
