Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.

It is very hard for her to provide the necessities of her family.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. the necessities to her family.

"Provide" is a transitive verb that requires an object, and when you talk about providing something to someone, you generally use the preposition "to" to indicate the recipient of what is being provided.

In this case, "the necessities" is the object of the verb "provide," and "to her family" indicates the recipient of those necessities, which is why "to" is the correct preposition here.

Hence, the correct sentence is:- It is very hard for her to provide the necessities to her family.
