Which sentence must be revised to eliminate the preposition at the end?

A. The museum had the throne where the king sat on.

Prepositions are often before the noun or the pronoun. Sentence A uses passive voice and leaves the proposition at the end, which is called "dangling preposition".

"Throne" is the object of the preposition "on", but as the object takes place earlier in the sentence, the preposition is left "dangling" at the end.

The sentence would have a better construction written in an active voice:

"The museum owned the king's throne" or "The throne where the king sat was at the museum".

Answer from: j015

According to the question, the sentence that must be revised to eliminate the proposition at the end is “the museum had the throne where the king sat on. Merely looking at the sentence, its uses passive voice and the preposition is at the end, and this is called dangling preposition.

Further Explanation

In a sentence, prepositions are often used before the noun or pronoun. From the question “throne” is used as the object of the preposition “on” but since the object occurred earlier in the sentence, the preposition is dangling at end of the sentence.

It can better be best written as “the throne where the king sat was at the museum”

Dangling preposition is also called hanging preposition or stranded preposition. It means a preposition whose object takes place earlier in the sentence. A dangling preposition can also mean a preposition that does not have an object. Such sentence is left stranded, hanging or dangling.

Dangling preposition usually occur with phrasal verbs (come over, drop by, eat out) or prepositional verbs (he stared at the boy, he finally decided on the red boot). These verb constructions requires preposition to give it a meaning.

“She is someone I look up to” is another example of dangling prepositions.
