SSC CPO 2020 PYQ — Question 41

SSC CPO - 23 Nov 2020 - Shift 2 • English • Q41

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

She has inherited her fondness ______ tennis from her parents.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. for.

The preposition "for" correctly indicates what someone likes or has a preference for.

For is a preposition which means: 'about something' or 'concerning something.'

The word 'fondness' means 'a liking'. 

In this case, "fondness for" properly expresses a liking or affection for tennis. The other options ("at," "by," and "to") do not fit the context of expressing fondness or liking for something.
