Question

Choose the appropriate preposition and fill in the blank:

I don't want to talk _____ what happened last night. Let's forget it.

• A. of
• B. after
• C. for
• D. about

Answer 1

The correct option is D about

The given sentence indicates the subject's connection with 'what happened last night'. Therefore 'about' is the suitable answer, since 'about' is used to show a connection. Thus option D is correct. On the other hand 'of' is used to define any belonging or relation. Hence option A is incorrect. The preposition 'after' is used to denote something or someone following, while 'for' is used to speak about any cause of reason. Since the sentence conveys a connection between the subject and object, option B and C are incorrect.

The completed sentence thus becomes: I don't want to walk about what happened last night. Let's forget it.
