Choose the most appropriate option to fill in the blank in the given sentence:

The boy crawled______ the fence to enter the garden.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Crawling implies moving low to the ground, so the natural way to cross a fence while crawling is beneath it. 'Crawled under the fence' is the idiomatic collocation. One climbs or jumps over a fence, but does not crawl over it; 'into' and 'near' do not describe crossing at all.
