Question

Choose the appropriate preposition and fill in the blank:

The people next door are furious with us ______ making so much noise last night.

• A. with
• B. to
• C. of
• D. for

Answer 1

The correct option is D for

The given sentence indicates the reason of being furious. Therefore 'for' is the suitable answer, since 'for' is used to depict a cause or reason behind something. Thus option D is correct. On the other hand 'with' is used to define a company, hence option A is inappropriate for the given sentence. The preposition 'to' is used to show a certain destination or direction , while 'of' is used to denote any relation or belonging. Since the sentence speaks about a reason or cause, option B and C are inappropriate in the given context. Hence they are incorrect.

The completed sentence thus becomes: The people next door are furious with us for making so much noise last night.
