Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks.

Bamboo is a name used ______ many types of tall, tree-like grasses. There are hundreds of different species, or types, of bamboo in the ______. They grow in mild to warm and humid areas.

  • A.for, world
  • B.to, globe
  • C.in, earth
  • D.by, country

Answer: A

For, world fits both blanks. A name is used for many types of grasses and the species of bamboo are found in the world. "Used to many types", "used in many types" and "used by many types" are not idiomatic, and "of bamboo in the globe, earth or country" is not the natural phrase for hundreds of species around the world. In bamboo's definition the first blank needs a preposition that links "a name used" to the plants it names, and the second needs a noun that says where the species grow, which is the world.
