- B.
  
  On an island
- C.
  
  At an island
Correct Answer
B. On an island

Explanation
The correct answer is "on an island" because when referring to the location of an island, we use the preposition "on." This indicates that something is situated or located on the surface of the island. The preposition "in" is used when referring to being inside something, and "at" is used to indicate a specific point or place. Since we are discussing the location of the island itself, "on" is the appropriate preposition.

Correct Answer
B. At the station

Explanation
The correct answer is "at the station" because "at" is used to indicate a specific location or position. In this case, "at the station" indicates being physically present or located at the station. "In the station" would imply being inside the station building, while "on the station" does not make sense in this context.

  At the street
- B.
  
  In the street
- C.
  
  On the street
Correct Answer
B. In the street

Explanation
The correct answer is "in the street" because the preposition "in" is used to indicate location within a specific area or space. In this case, "in the street" implies being inside or within the boundaries of the street. On the other hand, "at the street" suggests being near or beside the street, while "on the street" typically refers to being on the surface or pavement of the street.

  In the beach
- B.
  
  At the beach
- C.
  
  On the beach
Correct Answer
C. On the beach

Explanation
The correct answer is "on the beach" because when we refer to a specific location like a beach, we use the preposition "on" to indicate being physically present or situated on the surface of the beach. "In" typically refers to being inside a confined space, while "at" is used to indicate a general location or proximity. Therefore, in this context, "on the beach" is the most appropriate preposition to describe being physically present on the surface of the beach.
