Question 1 Report

In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase(s) which best fills(s) the gap(s):

When the transformer blew up, Saka threw himself down _____ his stomach

Answer Details
The most appropriate word that best fills the gap in the sentence is "on." The phrase "threw himself down on his stomach" means that Saka quickly lay down with his stomach on the ground. This phrase is often used to describe someone quickly taking cover or seeking protection. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence. "At" means toward or in the direction of, "over" means above or higher than, and "to" means in the direction of. Therefore, the correct preposition to complete the sentence is "on."
