Question

Choose the appropriate preposition and fill in the blank:

Look _____ these flowers, aren't they pretty!

• A. to
• B. at
• C. for
• D. about

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

at

The given sentence indicates the specific flowers . Therefore 'at' is the suitable answer, since 'at' is used to specify something. Thus option B is correct. On the other hand 'to' is used to define something's direction, hence option A is inappropriate in the given context. On the other hand 'for' is used to show a cause or purpose of something, while 'about' is used to depict something's connection with another thing. Since the sentence speaks about something specific. option C and D are unsuitable in the given context. Hence they are incorrect.

The completed sentence thus becomes: Look at these flowers, aren't they pretty!
