Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Pneumonia may lead _____ death.

• A. towards
• B. to
• C. up to
• D. for

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

to

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 B) to as it indicates a result of something.

'Towards', 'up to' and for cannot be used here as they indicate a direction, a direction upwards, and a reason respectively.

Pneumonia may lead to death.
