Question

Pratima is very much worried _______ her mother's health.

• A. To
• B. For
• C. About
• D. Of

Hint:

Which preposition normally follows "worried" when a topic of concern is named.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

This question tests the preposition that follows the adjective "worried" when expressing concern over something.

• Option A (To): "Worried to" is not a standard collocation in English.
• Option B (For): "Worried for" is occasionally used but suggests concern for someone's safety in a general sense, and it is not the most standard fit here.
• Option C (About): "Worried about" is the standard and natural collocation used to show concern about a specific matter, person, or condition, such as someone's health.
• Option D (Of): "Worried of" is grammatically incorrect in English.

The correct answer is C) About, so option 3 is the answer.
