A very short question: is the following sentence correct?
What should we do (...) the rest of the day?
Could the sentence do without a preposition (in, for), or is one needed?

Never heard that without a preposition. At times we just go with the flow without any confirmation. That's how we learn those common things. – Maulik V May 31 '18 at 14:06

@MaulikV Well I have. What now? ( : Although I was only able to find a smattering of results in COCA, I had better luck with the new iWeb corpus. – user3395 May 31 '18 at 14:20

@userr2684291 What COCA stands for? – RubioRic May 31 '18 at 15:04

@RubioRic It stands for the Corpus of Contemporary American English. – user3395 May 31 '18 at 15:52

I would say for the rest of the day. You could omit one and your listener would understand but it sounds more correct with it. You could also use during but I would not use in.
