Question

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

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

Accepted Answer

Option A — 'across' is the correct preposition. The sentence describes a line that traverses the full width of the page, passing right through its centre and splitting it into two halves. The preposition 'across' precisely captures this idea of lateral movement from one side to the other. No other option fits: 'of' is a genitive preposition, 'between' requires two distinct objects, and 'about' suggests approximation.
