Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition:
The formation of clouds was __________ a rapid fall in the temperature.

• A. Because
• B. Due to
• C. Like
• D. From

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Due to

Due to means as a result of. It fits in the sentence to bring out the meaning. Hence 'due to' is the correct answer. Like means "similar to" or "similarly to" and From indicates a starting point or origin,cause, separation or distance. Because acts as an conjunction here. So options A,C,D are incorrect.
