Question

Fill in the blank with suitable prepositions:
Who takes care _______ the office when the manager is away ________ business?

• A. In / for
• B. Of / on
• C. At / for
• D. Of / in

Answer 1

The correct option is B Of / on

Of is used to indicate possession, relation, substance, cause or about. The first part of the given sentence indicates possession. So, 'of' must fulfill the first blank.

Options A and C can thus be eliminated.

The second part of the given sentence talks about something. So, the preposition 'on' must fit in the blank correctly.

Thus option B is the correct answer.
