Question

Choose the appropriate preposition and fill in the blank:

Do you think I could have a look ___ your newspaper, please?

• A. at
• B. to
• C. with
• D. for

Answer 1

The correct option is A at

The given sentence speaks about a specific newspaper which the speaker wants to look. Therefore 'at' is the suitable answer, since 'at' is used to specify something or someone. Thus option A is correct. On the other hand 'to' is used to denote someone's direction. Hence option B is incorrect. The preposition 'with' is used to depict a company or the presence of something or somebody, while 'for' is used to convey the sense of cause or reason. Since the sentence speaks about the specified newspaper, 'with' and 'for' are unsuitable in the given context. Hence they are incorrect.

Thus the completed sentence becomes: Do you think I could have a look at your newspaper , please?
