Sentence Analysis
The film "Brave Heart" is ____ long. It lasts ____ three hours.
Let's look at the second part of the sentence first. It mentions three hours, which is a duration of time.
In English, when we describe how long an action or state continues, we use the preposition 'for' followed by the duration. For example, 'I lived there for ten years' or 'The meeting lasted for an hour'.
Looking at our options, only choice A uses the preposition 'for' in the second slot.
| Option | Preposition |
|---|---|
| A | for |
| B | on |
| C | in |
| D | at |
| E | into |
