Grammar: Preposition

Question:

Fill in the blank with the appropriate Preposition :

Ivory readily adapts itself ________ the carver's art.

Options:

for

to

with

at

Correct Answer:

to

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - to

  • The phrase "adapts itself to" is commonly used to indicate that something adjusts or becomes suited for a particular purpose or context.
  • Here, "Ivory readily adapts itself to the carver's art" means that ivory is well-suited or becomes ideal for the art of carving.
  • The other options ("for," "with," "at") do not fit naturally in this context.

Thus, the sentence should read: "Ivory readily adapts itself to the carver's art."
