Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Sue became very excited _____ receiving a promotion.

• A. at
• B. to
• C. for
• D. in

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

at

Option A is the correct answer because 'at' is used with adjectives (excited) to show the cause of something (receiving a promotion).

Options B, C and D are incorrect because 'to' is used to mean towards something, 'for' is used to indicate a time period and 'in' is used indicate an unspecific time or location.
