Question

Fill in the blank with appropriate preposition.
Her face was bright ______ happiness.

• A. To
• B. About
• C. For
• D. With

Answer 1

The correct option is D With

In the given sentence we use the correct preposition of manner to complete the meaning. Preposition of manner depicts about the way something happens or how something is done. The given sentence speaks about the brightness of her face which is accompanied by happiness. Therefore 'with' is the suitable answer, Since 'with' generally depicts something is accompanied by something. Thus option D is correct. On the other hand 'to' expresses a location in relation to a point of reference. Hence option A is incorrect. The preposition 'about' is used to indicate concerning something , while 'for' is used to express in support or in favor of something. Since the sentence speaks about her face which is accompanied by happiness, 'about' and 'for' are unsuitable in the given context. Thus option B and C are incorrect.

The completed sentence thus, becomes: Her face was bright with happiness.
