Dear Teachers,
The following is part of a cloze test.
Consider the word "breakfast". "To fast" is to go for some period of time wirthout eating. Thus, in the morning, after many hours ________ the night without food, one breaks one's food.
The choices of the blank are: a. for b. during c. at d. on
The answer is d. I have two questions here:
One is why is 'd' correct? Is it because when we describe certain activity at night we should use on? The other is whether I can use 'b'. Since I don't understand why 'd' I think 'b' is better.
I am looing forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.
Jiang
