Select the correct alternative to fill in the blank with the correct preposition in the following sentence.
Bibhu liked the blanket made ______ wool.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Correct Answer
of
Explanation
The correct preposition is “of.” The expression “made of” is used when the original material is still recognizable in the finished product. Since a blanket is made from wool and the material remains identifiable, “made of wool” is the correct phrase.
The other options are incorrect. Option 1 (“in”) is not used in this context. Option 2 (“by”) refers to the person or agent who makes something. Option 3 (“out”) is incorrect because the correct expression is “made out of,” not simply “made out.”
Key Points
Use “made of” when the original material is still visible or recognizable. Use “made from” when the original material has been transformed into a different substance.
