The correct answer is

at the airport

To determine the suitable option to replace the underlined part in the given sentence, let's analyze the context and grammatical usage.

Original Sentence:
The driver dropped her to the airport late at night.

We need to focus on the preposition used in the sentence. The phrase "dropped her to the airport" is incorrect because the verb "dropped" does not typically pair with the preposition "to" when describing an action of leaving someone at a location.

Option Analysis:

  • from the airport: This would imply the action was taking place in the opposite direction, i.e., starting from the airport. This does not fit the context as per the sentence requirement.
  • to the airport: This option is generally used to indicate direction rather than the final drop-off point. Thus, it seems incorrect here.
  • at the airport: This option indicates the location where she was dropped off. It fits the context appropriately as "dropped at" is a correct prepositional pairing when mentioning the endpoint of a journey.
  • me from: This does not fit grammatically as it incorrectly alters the structure of the sentence.

After analyzing the options, the most grammatically correct and contextually appropriate option is at the airport.

Therefore, the sentence should correctly read: "The driver dropped her at the airport late at night."
