Answer 1

Hint: For such types of questions it is important to know the different parts of speech. In this sentence we will be using prepositions.

Complete Answer:In this question we will be using prepositions. Preposition is a word used to link nouns, pronouns or phrases to other words within a sentence. They connect the people, objects, time and location of a sentence. Prepositions are generally placed in front of nouns or in front of verbs. Example: He saw across the river. 2) Take your brother with you. Of, on , at ,with etc.
There are different types of prepositions:
->Preposition for time
->Preposition for place
->Preposition for directions
->Prepositions for agent
->Preposition for instrument

We can determine the correct answer by choosing the appropriate prepositions. In the given sentence the person is talking about his interest in breads. The prepositions at and in are not used to indicate interests. These prepositions are used to refer to time in various aspects. At and in are used to refer to directions as well.

Let us discuss the options one by one.
>Option a): At/of
This option is incorrect because ‘at’ is not used to indicate interest.
>Option b): In/at
This option is incorrect because ‘in’ is not used to indicate interest.
>Option c): On/at
This option is incorrect because ‘at’ is not used to indicate interest.
>Option d): On/of
This option is correct because ‘on’ is used to indicate something specific and of is used to to indicate possession. The speaker is talking about bread and her liking towards it.

Hence option ‘D’ is the correct answer.

Note: In the fill in the blank questions it is important to understand what the sentence is trying to convey. It is imperative to know prepositions along with their types.
