Correct Answer

Explanation
Solution: * The sentence structure indicates that Maggie is giving or lending something to someone. * "To" is the preposition used to show the recipient of something. * Therefore, Maggie lent her record book to Shirley. Now, let's see why the other options are incorrect: * "In" implies being inside something, which doesn't fit the context. * "On" usually indicates something being supported by or touching a surface, which isn't relevant here. * "At" typically indicates a location or time , which also doesn't fit the sentence's meaning. So, the best word to complete the sentence logically and grammatically is "to" .
