Select the most appropriate option to improve the bold part of the sentence.

The wall is decorated by posters.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct option to improve the bold part of the sentence is ‘decorated with posters’.

Explanation:

Preposition Usage: In English, when we describe something being adorned or covered using an instrument or material, we use the preposition "with." The preposition "by" is typically used to indicate the agent (the person or thing performing the action).

Context: Since posters are the items used for decoration, "decorated with" is the grammatically correct choice.
