Explanation
Correct Answer
with
Explanation
The correct phrase is “agree with” when referring to accepting or sharing the opinion, idea, or policy of a person or organization. Therefore, “The farmers did not agree with the policy of the government” is the correct sentence.
The other options are incorrect. Option 1 (“on”) is used with “agree on” when people reach a mutual decision. Option 2 (“about”) is not used with “agree” in this context. Option 4 (“to”) is generally used with proposals or terms, not with “the policy of the government” in this sentence.
Key Points
Use “agree with” for opinions, ideas, or policies. Use “agree on” for a common decision or topic, and “agree to” for accepting a proposal, offer, or plan.
