Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.

They dreamed ____ delicious dishes served in wondrous plates.

• A. About
• B. For
• C. By
• D. Of

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Of

The given sentence makes a connection between 'the dreams' and ' delicious dishes'. Therefore 'of' is the suitable answer, since 'of' is used to construct a connection or relation . Hence 'of' is the suitable answer. On the other hand 'about' is used to convey the sense of approximate. Thus option A is incorrect. The preposition 'for' is used to convey the meaning of any cause or result, while 'by' is used to mean beside or at the side of. Since the sentence speaks about a connection , 'for' and 'by' are unsuitable in the given context. Hence they are incorrect.

The completed sentence thus becomes: They dreamed of delicious dishes served in wondrous plates.
