a) To
b) Of
c) At
d) None of the above

Answer 1

Hint:Read the given sentence carefully and make out the core meaning of it. Find the subject, predicate, and object of the given sentence.

Complete answer:
In the given question, three options are prepositions. A preposition is a word that comes before a noun or a pronoun and establishes a relationship between the elements of a clause or words.
Now we will examine all the options given to find out the correct answer -
Option ‘a’ is To. To is a preposition and a versatile little word that can be used to say many things. You can use it to indicate a goal or a direction of movement, as well as a place of arrival. For example: Go to the room and sleep.
Option ‘b’ is Of. Of is a preposition, we use when we want to show that people or things relate to other things or people. For example, Tiffany stared at the roof of her room.
Option 'c' is At. At is a preposition which is used for the most specific times and for holidays without the word “day”, we use. For example: Meet me at midnight.
Option 'd' is None of the above. We will choose this option as all the other options are incorrect or aren’t suitable for the given questions.
As we have analyzed all the given options, we can easily find out the correct option. Here the word to be filled in the blank would be – to. The complete sentence would be – She said hello to everyone, except me. Hence option 'a' is the correct option.

Note:
 All the other options are plausible distractions. You must know the meaning of all the prepositions in order to do this question.
