The keys were found _______ the drawer where you left them last week.

  • A. under
  • B. in
  • C. on
  • D. beside

Explanation

A drawer is an enclosed space, so something inside it takes in, while on would place the keys on its surface and under or beside would place them outside it altogether. Prepositions of place follow the geometry of the object: in for enclosed spaces, on for surfaces, at for points. The relative clause where you left them confirms the keys were inside.
