• A. by/-/of
• B. of/to/by
• C. of/with/at
• D. on/on/with
• E. by/to/by

Answer 1

The correct option is A by/-/of

Option "A" is the correct answer.

EXPLANATION :-

A Preposition is a word used to link noun, pronoun or phrases to other words within a sentence.

In the first blank, preposition "by" will be used because preposition "by" is used to say "the origin of something" or the possession ( by Oscar Wilde).

In the second blank, no preposition will be used because some verbs are followed by direct objects without prepositions like show, marry, discuss, lack etc.

In the third blank, preposition "of" will be used because preposition "of" is used to show a belongingness or a relation ( a relation between Oscar and his books).
