Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
She is married _______ a businessman.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
In English, the verb "married" or the adjective "married" (when used with the linking verb "is") is followed by the preposition ‘to’.
Common Error: Using "with" is a frequent mistake. While we say someone is "in a relationship with" someone, the standard grammatical rule for marriage specifically requires to.
The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is to.
Correct Sentence: "She is married to a businessman."
