Correct Answer: into


Solution : The first option is correct.

The preposition into is used to convey the direction of the boy's movement, emphasising the action of entering or going inside. The phrase the little boy ran into the house indicates that the boy is moving from the outside to the inside of the house. This choice of preposition clarifies the specific path of the boy's run, suggesting that he is actively moving toward and entering the house.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be, "The little boy ran into the house".
