   Check my answer

   Correct answer: D) along / into

   We use 'along' to denote movement following the length of a road or street ('along Galle Road'), and 'into' when indicating movement entering a specific new street or pathway ('turn right into Station Road').

   Show worked solution

   Step 1: Analyze movement along a linear path: walking down a road takes the preposition 'along'. Step 2: Analyze changing direction into another street: 'turn left/right into' is the standard navigational idiom. Step 3: Check combinations: 'along / into' fits both blanks accurately. Answer: along / into.
