Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
Tom was really delighted _______ your gift.

• A. with
• B. for
• C. about
• D. in

Answer 1

The correct option is A with

Option A: 'With' means 'of cause, owing to something'. The subject 'Tom' was delighted because of the gift. Hence this word is most suitable here and option A is correct.

Option B: 'For' refers to purpose: for the sake of something. The word doesn't relate to the given sentence.

Option C: 'About' means 'connected with', or 'on the subject of'. It does not form a sentence complete in meaning.

Option D: 'In' means 'to be enclosed by walls or surrounded by something'. This word too does not apply here.

Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
