Question

Do not argue _____ a newspaper editor, he can always have the last word.

• A. with
• B. at
• C. for
• D. about

Answer 1

The correct option is A with

A preposition is a word which comes before a noun or a pronoun and establishes a relationship between the elements of a clause or words.

The correct answer is option A) with as 'with' indicates of something being done with someone ( arguing with a newspaper editor).

'At' , 'for' and 'about' cannot be used here as they indicate a location or a skill, a purpose and and an information about someone or something respectively.
