Grammar: Preposition

Question:

Fill in the blank with the correct preposition.
Shyam is confident __________his failure.

Options:

for

about

towards

of

Correct Answer:

about

Explanation:


The correct preposition to fill in the blank is
"about":OPTION 2

  • "For" implies confidence in anticipation of failure, meaning he trusts his ability to handle it when it happens.
  • "Towards" suggests a feeling or attitude directed towards the concept of failure, which isn't specific enough.
  • "Of" can imply possession or belonging, which makes little sense in this context.
  • "About" accurately conveys that Shyam is aware of his failure and has feelings regarding it, whether those feelings are acceptance, resilience, or even a desire to learn from it.

Therefore,"Shyam is confident about his failure" best expresses the intended meaning.
