Select a suitable preposition to complete the sentence:
Kalidasa is famous ________ his drama the Shakuntalam.
The correct option is A for
The given sentence needs to be filled with a preposition of reason or cause. Hence prepositions of place such as ‘on’ and ‘beside’ are unsuitable in the given context. ‘On’ is used to speak about something being placed on the surface or on an object. Here Kalidasa cannot be placed ‘on’ his drama. Similarly ‘beside’ means to place something alongside or near another object, which is once again not the case here. Hence options C and D are incorrect. ‘For’ is a preposition of reason which when used in the give sentence explains the reason for Kalidasa’s fame. His fame is a result of his drama the Shakuntalam, hence ‘for’ is the apt answer. Thus option A is correct. On the other hand, ‘with’ when used in the given context would mean that both Kalidasa and his drama are famous, but it wouldn't convey 'why', which is the most important part of the sentence. Thus option B is incorrect, in the given context.
