Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition:
She remarried _________ the sake of her children.

• A. For
• B. At
• C. With
• D. From

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

For

Option A- For is used to indicate a space of time, purpose, cause, use of something, to show who is intended to have or use something. The given sentence shows a cause. Hence option A is the correct answer.

Option B- At is used to indicate time and space. It is incorrect as there is no indication of time and space in the given sentence.

Option C-With is used to indicate means, possession, contents, relationship, for and against. It does not fit the meaning of the sentence. Hence it is incorrect.

Option D- From is used to indicate movement, since, source, cause, separation, distance and protection. Thus it is incorrect.
