Prepositions with verbs MCQ — 2 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

The verb 'conform' is followed by the preposition 'to' when it means to agree with, follow, or be in accordance with a rule, pattern, or accepted theory. The sentence therefore means that his ideas do not agree with the generally accepted theories. 'Within' suggests being inside limits, not agreement. 'Into' indicates movement or change of state, so it does not fit the verb pattern here. 'With' is common after verbs such as 'agree', but standard usage is 'conform to', not 'conform with' in this construction.

Explanation

The verb loiter commonly takes about or around when it means to wander or stand idly in a place without purpose. Therefore, loiter about the streets is the natural and grammatical phrase. Loiter for the streets is incorrect because for normally shows purpose or benefit, not movement in a place. Loiter with the streets is impossible because with needs a companion or instrument. Loiter to the streets suggests direction towards a destination, while the sentence refers to being in the streets after sunset.
