Which preposition indicates direction?

Into
On
For
Of

The correct answer is: Into

The preposition "into" is used to indicate direction because it conveys movement toward the inside of a space or an object. For example, when you say "She walked into the room," it demonstrates a change in location, moving from outside to inside of the room. This directional aspect is what sets "into" apart from the other choices. The prepositions "on," "for," and "of" do not imply movement toward a destination in the same way. "On" often indicates a position or surface, "for" communicates purpose or benefit, and "of" signifies belonging or relation. Therefore, "into" is the preposition that correctly describes a directional movement.
