Question

Choose a suitable preposition to fill in the blank:

There are many advantages ___ being able to speak a foreign language.

• A. of
• B. with
• C. for
• D. to

Answer 1

The correct option is A of

The given sentence indicates a connection or relation between 'the advantages' and 'to be able to speak a foreign language'. Therefore 'of' is the suitable answer, since 'of' is used while conveying a connection or relation between two things. Thus option A is correct. On the other hand 'with' is used to indicate a company, or presence of someone or something. Hence option B is incorrect. The preposition 'for' is used to indicate some reason , while 'to' is used to indicate the direction of something. Since the sentence speaks about a relation between 'the advantages' and 'to be able to speak a foreign language' , 'for' and 'to' are unsuitable in the given context. Thus option C and D are incorrect.

The complete sentence thus becomes: There are many advaantages of being able to speak a foreign language.
