Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition.

He dreams _______ becoming a lecturer.

• A. on
• B. at
• C. of
• D. in

Answer 1

The correct option is C of

Prepositions are words that indicate relationships with the other words in the sentence.

'Of' is the right choice of preposition here, as 'of' expresses a belonging or a relationship between a part or whole. Here 'of' expresses the relationship between his dream and himself.

Whereas other options are not relevant in the given context as, 'on' means on top of. 'at' refers to a spot or place, 'in' refers to an enclosed space. Therefore options A, B, D are incorrect.

Option C is the correct answer.
