Question

H. Directions : Evaluate each sentence. Choose TRUE if the underlined preposition is used correctly in the sentence, choose FALSE if not (2 pts.) 30. I cooled myself from a heart-shaped fan. Select one: True False

Answer 1

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

The preposition "from" usually indicates origin, that is, the place where an action starts. For example: I come from Brazil. / This gift is from grandma. / I saw her from my window.

In the sentence, we do not need to indicate origin. We need a preposition that will help us convey the idea that we used a tool - a fan - to do an action - to cool ourselves. In this case, I believe the preposition "with" would be the best option:

I cooled myself with a heart-shaped fan.
