Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Mr. Taylor was operated _____ for a constriction of the intestine.

• A. with
• B. in
• C. at
• D. on

Answer 1

The correct option is D on

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 D) on as 'on' answers the question of who( Mr. Taylor).

'With', 'in' and 'at' can not be used here as 'with' is used to indicate the inclusion of something/someone, 'in' to answer the question of where and 'at' to refer a location. Therefore, these prepositions are not suitable here.

'Mr. Taylor was operated on for a constriction of the intestine.'
