Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer
to
Explanation
The question requires selecting the correct preposition to follow the verb "agree" in relation to a marriage proposal.
The verb "agree" takes different prepositions depending on the object that follows it. You agree to a proposal, plan, or suggestion, whereas you agree with a person or an opinion. Since the sentence specifically mentions a "marriage proposal," the correct prepositional combination is "agree to."
The other choices—on, with, and about—are incorrect because they do not match the grammatical rule for accepting a formal offer or plan.
Key Points
The verb "agree" has strict preposition rules based on context. Remember that you agree with a person (e.g., "I agree with Suvankar"), agree to a plan or proposal (e.g., "agree to the proposal"), and agree on a topic after a mutual discussion (e.g., "agree on a date").
