Question:

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate option:-

Now a days, most of the people find themselves indifferent …………. the sufferings of the others.

Options:

to

with

at

about

Correct Answer:

to

Explanation:

The correct option to fill in the blanks is to.

The sentence is about people's lack of concern for the sufferings of others. The word "indifferent" means "showing or feeling no interest, sympathy, or concern". The word "to" is the most appropriate preposition to use after the word "indifferent", as it indicates the object of the indifference.

The other options are not as appropriate:

  • With means "in the company of" or "associated with". It would not be accurate to use "with" in this context, as the people are not associated with the sufferings of others.
  • At means "in a position facing" or "in a particular state of mind". It would not be accurate to use "at" in this context, as the people are not in a particular state of mind about the sufferings of others.
  • About means "concerning" or "in relation to". It would not be accurate to use "about" in this context, as the people are not concerned about the sufferings of others.
