Question 6 • CA-English Language Arts 12 B – 1744

Which sentence must be revised to eliminate the preposition at the end?

Answer
A
Please invite the guests in.
B
Jenni did not know what the movie was about.
C
I don’t know where Carlos is staying at.
D
Which town are you going to?

Explanation

In choice C, “at” is an unnecessary preposition at the end; revise the sentence to “I don’t know where Carlos is staying.” In the other sentences, the ending prepositions are needed to complete the meaning: invite the guests in, what the movie was about, and the town you are going to.
