Let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick the best preposition:
in,
on, or
under.
We’ll use the picture to help us decide where things are located.
---
1.
He is ___ home.
→ The man is sitting inside a room with shelves, plants, and furniture — that means he’s *inside* his home.
✔ Best word:
at (Wait — “at” isn’t in our list? Let me check again.)
Hold on — the directions say to choose from:
in,
on,
under. But “at home” is a common phrase. Hmm… maybe we need to think differently.
Actually, looking at the image — he’s sitting *on* a stool, surrounded by things. But “home” is not something you’re physically “in” like a box — but in English, we often say “at home”. Since “at” is listed above the picture as an option (even though it’s not in the main three), let’s re-read:
The words given are:
in,
on,
at,
under — yes! Look at the top right: “in on at under” — so “at” IS allowed!
So for #1: He is
at home.

under

5.

---
