Choose the appropriate preposition and fill in the blank:
Are you angry ______ what happened?Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D about
In the given sentence we can see 'anger' is connected with 'what happened'. Therefore 'about' is the suitable answer. Since'about' is used to indicate subject's connection with something. Thus option B is correct. On the other hand 'with' is used to show company or presence of someone. Hence option A is incorrect. The preposition 'by' is used to depict how a work is done, while 'of' is used to indicate any belongings or relation. Since the sentence indicates the connection of 'anger' with 'what happened', 'by' and 'of' is unsuitable in the given context. Thus option C and D are incorrect. The completed sentence thus becomes: Are you angry about what happened?
