Select the sentence with the correct use of a double preposition.

This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

The cat emerged from out of the cupboard quietly.

A double preposition combines two prepositions to express a single, precise relationship, and "from out of" is an established double preposition in English.

"The cat emerged from out of the cupboard quietly" uses this recognised combination correctly to show movement out of an enclosed space.

The remaining sentences rearrange or combine the prepositions in non-standard ways that are not accepted double preposition forms.
