My house is insured _________ theft and fire.

• A. to
• B. against
• C. in
• D. towards

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

against

Option B, is the correct answer because 'against' is used to mean in order to prevent something from happening or to reduce the damage caused by something.

Options A, C and D are incorrect because 'to' is used to mean towards something, 'in' is used to indicate an unspecific location or time and 'towards' means in the direction of something.
