Question

Choose the appropriate preposition and fill in the blank:

We always have the same food every day. I am fed up ______ it.

• A. by
• B. of
• C. with
• D. to

Answer 1

The correct option is C with

In the given sentence the subject is fed up for the presence of same food. Therefore 'with' is the suitable answer, since 'with' is used to denote the presence of someone or something. Thus option C is correct. On the other hand 'by' is used to describe how a work is done, hence option A is inappropriate for the given sentence. The preposition 'of' is used to denote any belonging or relation , while 'to' is used to denote any direction. Since the sentence speaks about the presence of the same food, option B and D are incorrect.

The completed sentence thus becomes: We always have the same food every day. I am fed up with it.
