Question

Choose the appropriate preposition and fill in the blank:

Everything can be explained. There is a reason ______ everything.

• A. to
• B. with
• C. for
• D. between

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

for

The given sentence indicates a sense of reasoning. Therefore 'for' is the correct answer, since 'for' is used to show a reason or cause. Thus option C is correct. On the other hand , 'to' is used to denote a direction. Hence option A is incorrect. The preposition 'with' is used to indicate a company or something/someone's presence, while 'between' indicates something in the time , space or interval that separates. Since the sentence speaks about a sense of reasoning, 'with' and 'between' is unsuitable for the given context. Thus option B and D are incorrect.

The completed sentence , thus , becomes: Everything can be explained. There is a reason for everything.
