No preposition before all
I'm a ELS student who has posted my question here before.
Today, my question is about the preposition before "all" in the sentence below.
A) He has neverbeen further than the nearest town (in) all his born days.
An "in" is printed in my exercise, but I remember that a preposition isn't allowed to be placed before "all". That's why I'm a bit confused about it.
Is it optional in this case?Thank you.

Hi,
'At' is incorrect in your example.
But you need 'at' in eg 'He arrived at just the right moment'.
