Q3
EnglishParts of Speech
Fill in the blank with the appropriate option: He spends hours ______ the phone everyday.
  1. a.at
  2. b.on
  3. c.with
  4. d.in

Answer: (B) on

The correct preposition used with phone in this context is 'on' — one speaks 'on the phone' or spends time 'on the phone'. 'At' is used for location, and 'with' or 'in' do not collocate naturally with 'phone' in this sense.
