Fill in the blank with the correct preposition.
His accusations are completely devoid____evidence.

[1/2 Marks]

• A. Of
• B. With
• C. In

Answer 1

The correct option is A Of

Someone or something is devoid of something when it completely lacks that thing. ‘Devoid’ takes the preposition ‘of’ with it.
‘Devoid of ‘is a prepositional verb. A prepositional verb is a verb that is followed by a preposition. The meaning of these two words together is usually very similar to the original meaning of the verb. It is a fixed expression. Hence, option A is correct.
