Grammar: Preposition

Question:

Choose a suitable preposition to fill in the blank:

Hereafter Raju is disqualified ________ holding any government post.

Options:

from

against

with

by

Correct Answer:

from

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - from

In the sentence "Hereafter Raju is disqualified ________ holding any government post," the appropriate preposition is "from." This indicates that Raju is barred or prevented from holding a government position.

  1. "Against"

    • This suggests opposition or resistance, which does not fit the context of disqualification.
  2. "With"

    • This does not convey the sense of being prohibited or barred from something.
  3. "By"

    • This implies being disqualified through an action or agent, which is not the intended meaning here.
