Where did Edwin park his red Corvette relative to the speaker's car?

• A. Next to my car.
• B. In front of my car.
• C. Behind my car.
• D. On the other side of the street.

Answer: (A)

Understanding relative position words like next to, in front of, behind, and across the street helps you infer where one object sits in relation to another. The question asks where Edwin parked in relation to the speaker’s car. The only option that describes immediate adjacency is “next to my car,” which means right beside it with no car between them. The other descriptions place the Corvette in front of or behind the speaker’s car along the same line, or on the opposite side of the street, which would not be beside it. So the correct location is right next to the speaker’s car.
