Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable prepositional phrase:
Many incompatible couples stay together _____________ their children.

• A. In support of
• B. For the sake of
• C. In favour
• D. Contrary to

Answer 1

The correct option is B For the sake of

The given sentence indicates a purpose.

'For the sake of' is used to show a purpose. Thus option B is the correct answer.

'In support of' and 'in favour' are used to show support or approval. Hence options A and C are incorrect.

'Contrary to' indicates a conflict. Hence option D is also incorrect.
