Question

Choose the option that fills the blank with the most suitable word:
Good fortune comes _____ hard work.

• A. in
• B. at
• C. from
• D. to

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

from

The given sentence depicts the source of the good fortune. Therefore 'from' is the suitable answer, since 'from' is used to depict a source or starting point. Thus option C is correct. On the other hand 'in' is used to locate something within a territory, hence option A is inappropriate for the given sentence. The preposition 'at' is used to specify something or someone while 'to' is used to depict a certain direction or destination. Since the sentence speaks about a source of something, option B and D are incorrect.

The completed sentence thus becomes: Good fortune comes from hard work.
