Correct Answer: in
Solution : The correct option is the first option. The correct and standard preposition to use when someone takes an official oath to assume a position or office is "in." Therefore, "sworn in" is the appropriate choice in this sentence.
"out" - "Sworn out" is not a standard phrase in this context either. "about" - "Sworn about" is not a standard English phrase or preposition. "off" - "Sworn off" is a phrasal verb that means to make a firm decision to stop doing something, like giving up a habit or activity. These options do not fit in with the sentence.
So the correct sentence is "He was sworn in as the Prime Minister of our country."
