Neha is traveling _____ the school.

The most appropriate word to complete the sentence “Neha is traveling _____ the school” is “Toward.” The preposition “toward” indicates movement in the direction of a place or object. When someone is traveling toward the school, it signifies that their destination is the school, and they are currently moving in that general direction, even if they haven't reached it yet. This conveys intent and direction of movement effectively.

• Option B, “down,” is incorrect. While one can travel “down” a street, traveling “down the school” implies a descent or movement within the school building, which doesn't fit the context of traveling to a destination from an external point.
• Option C, “into,” is incorrect. “Into” implies entering an enclosed space. While Neha might eventually go into the school, “traveling into the school” suggests she is already very close to or has begun to enter the building, which is less general than simply moving in its direction.
• Option D, “across,” is incorrect. “Across” indicates movement from one side to another, often implying crossing a surface or obstacle. Traveling “across the school” would mean passing over or through the school grounds from one side to the other, not necessarily going to the school as a destination.
