D) To / no preposition

Answer 1

Hint: Prepositions: Words that show the relationship of a noun or a pronoun with another word in a sentence are called prepositions. Prepositions are usually followed by a noun or a pronoun. For example: in, from, over, for, at, by of, off, out and etc.

Complete Answer: A preposition is a word which comes before a noun or a pronoun and establishes a relationship between the elements of a clause or words.

Let us look into the given options
>Option A) Of / on is an incorrect answer because first blank needs a preposition and of indicates possession. Thus, this option doesn't fit the given question.
>Option B) To / on is an incorrect answer as TO indicates direction, relationships, or refers to a period so in first blank TO will go because it shows the relationship but in second blank on will not go. Thus, option B is the wrong option.
>Option C) No preposition / to is again a wrong answer because the first blank needs a preposition. Hence, this option is wrong and does not fit in the sentence.
>Option D) To / no preposition is the correct answer because it indicates a connection and the second blank doesn't require a preposition.

Hence option ‘D’ is the correct answer.

Note: Prepositions are the words that join a noun, pronoun or the noun phrases and make each sentence complete. However, learning prepositions is very important and hence, students should be conscious while reading a book to check the usage of the preposition.
