Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
They knocked him down and robbed him _____ his watch.

• A. of
• B. from
• C. at
• D. with

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 possession (of his watch).

'From', 'at' and 'with' cannot be used here as they indicate a source, location and inclusion of something/someone.

They knocked him down and robbed him of his watch.
