Question

Choose the correct option out of the four choices given.

Nobody in our group is a genius _____ winning friends and in convincing people.

• A. For
• B. In
• C. Of
• D. At

Answer 1

The correct option is D At

The preposition ‘at’ is generally used with adjectives to show the cause of something. Here the cause\reason is 'winning friends and in convincing people' therefore 'at' acts as a preposition of agency. Hence 'd' is the correct option.

Other options are incorrect as ‘for’ is used to show who is meant to have or use something', 'In' is used to indicate the position inside something, and'of' is used to explain to whom or what an object belongs to. Options a,b,c, therefore, do not fit in the given context.
