Question

Choose the correct alternative for the underlined portion: 
Each village in the state is provided by electricity supply.

• A. provided in
• B. provided for
• C. provided with
• D. provided

Hint:

Remember the common structures for the verb "provide":

You provide \textbf{something for} someone. (e.g., "We provide food for the homeless.")
You provide \textbf{someone with} something. (e.g., "We provide the homeless with food.")

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Analyze the verb and its required preposition. The verb "provide" is used to mean supplying something to someone.

Step 2: Determine the correct prepositional phrase. When you provide someone {with} something, you are giving it to them. The correct phrasal verb is "provide with". For example, "The hotel provides guests with towels."

Step 3: Apply the rule to the sentence. The sentence should state that each village is supplied with electricity. Therefore, "provided with" is the correct choice. The corrected sentence is: "Each village in the state is provided with electricity supply."
