Ⓐ at – at – in

Ⓑ on – on – of

Ⓒ in – in – of

Ⓓ in – on – of

Let’s carefully analyze the sentence:

Original:
My sister spent most of her life __________ a small town _________ the south _________Bahia.

We need the correct prepositions in each blank.

1. First blank: “spent most of her life ___ a small town”

   • We usually say “in a town”, not “on” or “at” for living somewhere. ✅

2. Second blank: “___ the south”

   • The correct preposition is “in the south”. We say “in the south of Brazil,” not “at the south” or “on the south.” ✅

3. Third blank: “___ Bahia”

   • We say “of Bahia” when referring to a region or state. ✅

Putting it together: “in a small town in the south of Bahia”

The correct answer is: in – in – of
