When I was fourteen, I sat the entrance examination for senior secondary school. A. sat for B. sat in C. sat at D. No improvement

[amp_mcq option1=”sat for” option2=”sat in” option3=”sat at” option4=”No improvement” correct=”option1″]

The correct answer is A. sat for.

The verb “sat” can be used in a number of ways, but in this case it is being used in the sense of “to take an examination.” When you take an examination, you are said to “sit for” it. For example, you might say “I sat for the SATs last week.”

The other options are not correct in this context. “Sat in” means to occupy a seat, and “sat at” means to be located at a particular place. Neither of these meanings makes sense in the context of taking an examination.

“No improvement” is also not the correct answer, because the sentence is already grammatically correct.
