Q1. I left my bedding ________ the station.
Correct Option:
B [ at ]
Explanation: ✅ Rule ✍️
We use at to refer to a specific point or location (like a station, school, bus stop, airport).
In is used when you’re inside something (in the station building), but at is the standard preposition when simply referring to the place as a point.
📖 Explanation 📚
At the station = location point where something happened.
If you say in the station, it means inside the building or platform area. For general reference, at is correct.
