Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate preposition:
What have we got _ _ _ _ _ dinner?
a) At
b) Of
c) For
d) From

Answer 1

Hint: The appropriate preposition would be the one which specifies the purpose of dinner.

Complete step by step answer:
Let us look at the options given. Option a “at” is a preposition used to specify a specific place or time. Dinner is not a place or specific time. Thus, it is incorrect.

Option b “of” is a preposition which expresses the relationship of a part of something to it as whole. Therefore, it is incorrect as its usage is inappropriate in the sentence.

Option c “for” is used to specify the use of something. This is the correct preposition. The final sentence will be “What do we have for dinner?

Option d “from” is used to indicate a place of origin, starting time of something, indicating separation, etc. Therefore, it is appropriate in the context of this passage.


Note: Do not get confused between “at” and “for”. At, as mentioned above is used to specify a specific place or time. In the given sentence dinner does not refer to time.
