Answer» Correct option - 2 Here, concept of prepositions is brought under consideration. Let's find out the uses of all the given options :- For - It is used to tell the purpose of something. About - It can be used in relation of something. For e.g. :- This book is about a love story of a blind man. On - Used to express a surface of something. By - Used to indicate the person that does something in a passive voice sentence. It is followed by a noun/pronoun. Here, a person's CONDITION is being discussed. Thus, option 4 is eliminated. CLEARLY, no physical CONTACT is being made. Hence, option 3 is eliminated. Also, option 1 is not apt. Thus, option 2 i.e. about is the correct answer. Correct sentence - I’ve only heard grave and dire speculations about Patterson’s present state. |
