Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition.
Yash agreed _______ my plan.
a) with
b) on
c) to
d) about

Answer 1

Hint: A preposition is a function word that combines with a noun or pronoun or noun phrase to form a prepositional phrase that can have an adverbial or adjectival relation to some other word.

Complete answer:
Let us analyze the options given to us in this question-
Option (a.), 'with', is defined as ‘in support of.’Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect as ‘agreed’ already shows that Yash was in support of the plan, therefore using this preposition will not serve any purpose.
Option (b.), ‘on', is defined as ‘positioned at the upper surface of something/someone, touching from above.’Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as using this preposition here does not make sense.
Option (c.), ‘to', is defined as ‘indicating destination- In the direction of something/someone, and arriving at.’Therefore, option (c.) is correct as this indicates ‘what’ Yash agreed for: ‘my’s’ plan. It is also grammatically correct.
Option (d.), ‘about', is defined as ‘concerned with something; engaged in; intent on.’
Therefore, option (d.) is incorrect as this using this preposition would require more context about the plan.

Note:
In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall the concept of adverbs, as many prepositions in the options are adverbs. An adverb is a word that modifies something other than a noun. An adverb is the word class that qualifies verbs or clauses.
