Question

To make a pencil holder, get a container. Glue old newspapers ______ your container, keeping the edges smooth and without air bubbles. Next, paint the container with your brush.
What is the correct preposition to use for the above blank? Thanks.

Answer 1

Any of these would work:
to, on, around

Answer 2

How about "along"? If both "along" and "around" are given as options,are both "along" and "around" acceptable or is "along" a better choice?

Answer 3

I wouldn't choose along. That implies you are gluing the paper along the edge.
