Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
She really annoys me. I can't stand people _____ her.

• A. Likes
• B. Compared to
• C. Like
• D. As

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Like

Option C is correct as the usage of ‘like’ would bring out the sense of similarity in the sentence. ‘Like’ as a preposition means ‘having the same characteristics or qualities as’. Here, it is completing the meaning of the sentence by bringing out the sense of similarity with ‘her.’ Option B and Option D cannot be used as they would render the sentence grammatically incorrect. Option A cannot be used as the sentence does not require a verb.
