Fill Blanks

Question:

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank and make a grammatically correct sentence.

People tend to turn a blind eye _____ crime against women.

Options:

to

at

on

in

Correct Answer:

to

Explanation:

The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is to.

The word "to" is used to indicate the direction of an action. In this case, the action is "turning a blind eye," which means to deliberately ignore something. The preposition "to" is therefore the most appropriate choice because it indicates that people are deliberately ignoring crime against women.

The other options are not as appropriate.

  • The preposition "at" is used to indicate a location. This does not make sense in the context of the sentence, because people are not turning a blind eye to crime against women in a specific location.
  • The preposition "on" is used to indicate a surface. This does not make sense in the context of the sentence, because people are not turning a blind eye to crime against women on a surface.
  • The preposition "in" is used to indicate a state or condition. This does not make sense in the context of the sentence, because people are not turning a blind eye to crime against women in a state or condition.
