Question

b)With
c)Between
d)Towards

Answer 1

Hint: A preposition is a word or a set of words that indicate a relationship between a noun or pronoun and other parts of the sentence.

Complete answer:

A preposition isn't a preposition unless it goes with a related noun or pronoun, called the object of the preposition. In the given question, there are four prepositions given in the options.
We will discuss the meaning and usage of the prepositions and find which one fits best in the given sentence. Option a is "to". To is one of the most common prepositions in English. It is generally used as the preposition of movement or direction. Option b is "with". With is a preposition of time, we use the word with to explain where things are, or when things happen. We also use to talk about connections between people and things. Option c is "between". Between can be used in several ways, as a preposition or as an adverb. In prepositions, between is used in the time, space, or interval that separates a person or thing. Option d is "towards", which is a preposition of movement. Towards is used in the direction of, or closer to someone or something.
Now, we can put in the correct preposition in the blank given. Option b, with, is the most suitable and grammatically correct answer for the given question.

Note: Prepositions don't usually have the same uses in different sentences. They work accordingly in every sentence they are used in.
