Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 2 : over

The correct answer is- 'over'.

  • Usage of Over: We use over to talk about movement or position at a higher level than something else.
    • Example: A beautiful white bird flew over the lake.
  • We can also use 'over' when talking about movement across a surface.
    • Example: Shall we go over the road and see if there’s a bank on the other side?
  • The given sentence talks about a horse jumping over the fence.
  • Therefore, the usage of 'over' is the most appropriate answer.
  • Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
     

The correct sentence is: The horse jumped over the fence.

 

  • Let's learn about the usage of other given options:-
    • Under: We use 'under' to talk about something that is below or lower than something else
      • Example: The cat is under the table.
    • Down: towards or in a lower place
      • Example: The kids ran down the hill to the gate.
    • Below: We use 'below' most commonly as a preposition meaning ‘lower than’. We use it when there is no contact between people or things.
      • Example: There was a big clock below the painting.
