Correct Answer: over


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

The correct preposition in this context is over. The phrase all over the house implies that the pictures of her parents are located in various places within the house, creating a sense of coverage or ubiquity. The preposition over is used to indicate distribution or placement.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • About refers to an approximate location or an estimated number.

  • Through suggests movement from one side to another.

  • Out implies a location outside the house.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: She kept pictures of her parents all over the house.
