Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition:
I'm very obliged ________ her helping me get that job.

• A. Of
• B. To
• C. For
• D. Off

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

To

Option A- Of is used to indicate possession, relation, substance, cause or about. As it does not fit the meaning of the sentence correctly, it is incorrect.

Option B- To is used to indicate direction, purpose, limit, attachment, comparing. The given sentence indicates a purpose. Thus 'to' is the correct answer.

Option C- For is used to indicate a space of time, use of something, to show who is intended to have or use something. As it does not fit the meaning of the sentence correctly, it is incorrect.

Option D- Off is used to indicate separation and disconnection. This does not fit correctly in the given sentence. Hence it is incorrect.
