✅ Answers with Explanation

QAnswerRule / Reason
1(C)  intoThe thief moved from outside to inside the alley → use INTO. INTO always shows entering an enclosed space.
2(B)  towardsHe moved in the direction of the temple but did not enter → use TOWARDS. The destination was NOT reached — the key clue here.
3(D)  untoThis is the famous Golden Rule — a formal, literary/biblical proverb → use UNTO. UNTO is the formal, old-fashioned equivalent of TO used in proverbs and scripture.
4(C)  from"Took the key from her bag" = the bag is the source/origin → use FROM. FROM shows the starting point or place of origin.
5(D)  into"Transformed into" = a change or transformation from one form to another → use INTO. (turned into, changed into, converted into, transformed into)
6(C)  from"From 8 am to 4 pm" = FROM marks the starting point of time in a FROM…TO range. Both FROM and TO work together here.
7(D)  unto"Loyal unto death" = faithful up to / as far as death — a formal, literary expression → use UNTO. This phrase appears in formal writing and classic literature.
8(D)  towards"Attitude towards" = TOWARDS is used to express feelings, behaviour, or attitude directed at someone. (kind towards, hostile towards, generous towards)
9(B)  into"Dived into the pool" = movement from outside to inside the water → use INTO. Dived/jumped/fell/ran INTO always signals entering an enclosed space.
10(C)  from"Travels from Hyderabad to Vijayawada" = FROM marks the starting point / place of origin of the journey. FROM always pairs with TO for origin→destination.
