Select the sentence with the appropriate use of preposition.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Children are fond of sweets.

  • The preposition "of" is used to indicate possession or association.
  • In this case, it is used to show the relationship between the noun "sweets" and the adjective "fond."
  • When we say that children are fond of something, it means they have a liking or an affection for that thing.

So, the sentence "Children are fond of sweets" correctly conveys that children have a fondness or liking for sweets.
