A.
blooming

B.
garden

C.

D.
snow

please explaine, dont just give the answer...

Answer 1

B.) Garden

this is because "on" is one of many words that are commonly in prepositions. Then to find the object of the preposition, you have to ask yourself, "on {or insert whatever your word is here} what", because the object of your preposition is the subject of the preposition. :)

I hope that makes sense!
