Grammar: Preposition

Question:

Fill in the blank with the correct Preposition:-

The gift was so beautiful that he was overwhelmed __________ joy.

Options:

with

for

to

in

Correct Answer:

with

Explanation:

The correct preposition to fill the blank is with.

Here's why:

  • "With" indicates the feeling or emotion that overwhelmed the person.
  • "For" suggests a reason or cause for the feeling, which is not the intended meaning in this context.
  • "To" typically indicates a direction or recipient, and doesn't fit the context of the sentence.
  • "In" is not commonly used to express emotions or feelings.

Therefore, "The gift was so beautiful that he was overwhelmed with joy." is the correct and grammatically accurate sentence.
