Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate preposition:

I have been married ______ Monica for over ten years.

• A. at
• B. to
• C. with
• D. into

Answer 1

The correct option is B to

Option B: 'To' expresses a 'relation to a person'; it is relevant to the given sentence as it expresses the relation of 'marriage' to a person 'Monica'.
Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'At' refers to time or a place. The noun 'Monica' is neither time nor place. Hence it isn't relevant here.
Option C: 'With' means 'accompanied by'. It does not complete the sentence, because 'married to' is a set phrase. We do not use 'married with' in the English language (when we talk about objects: 'the bacon marries well with maple syrup').
Option D: 'Into' means 'a movement or action towards something within'. For e.g. 'into the deep blue sea'. This meaning isn't relevant here.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
