Question

Choose the appropriate preposition and fill in the blank:

I have applied ______ a job at the factory. I don't know if I will get it.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B for

The given sentence speaks that the subject is intended to have the job. Therefore 'for' is the suitable answer, since 'for' is used to to show someone is intended to have something. Thus option B is correct. On the other hand 'about' is used to make a rough estimate of something. Thus option A is incorrect. The preposition 'of' is used to indicate any belonging, while 'after' is used to depict following somebody. Since the sentence speaks about the subject's intention to have the job , option C and D are incorrect.

Thus the completed sentence becomes: I have applied for a job at the factory . I don't know if I will get it.
