Question

Choose the correct adjectival phrase from the alternatives given:
I'm going to throw out these old clothes. They're ________ nothing. [Basic]

• A. good for
• B. good at
• C. good with
• D. good of

Answer 1

The correct option is A good for

Here, the phrase 'good for' is correct as it implies 'beneficial to/for' something. Here, the old clothes are 'beneficial to' no one.

To be 'good at' nothing is to be unable to do something well.

To be 'good with' something is to be good at doing something.

For the good of somebody/something implies in order to help someone or improve a situation.
