Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e., from perceiving.
The word “prevent” generally takes the preposition “from” with it. Therefore, “prevent it to” should be replaced with “prevent it from” to make the sentence grammatically correct.
The correct sentence will be-
It is dangerous and harmful to be guided in our life’s course by hatreds and aversions, for they are
wasteful of energy and limit and twist the mind, and prevent it from perceiving the truth.
