Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
He boasted _____ the big fish he had caught.

• A. of
• B. on
• C. with
• D. from

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

of

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) of as it indicates belongingness ( the big fish he had caught).

'On', 'with' and 'from' cannot be used here as they indicate a position, an inclusion of something and a source respectively.

He boasted of the big fish he had caught.
