She was not familiar ........................ the situation.

• A. with
• B. on
• C. by
• D. at

Hint:

Remember the distinction: you are 'familiar with' a topic, but a person's face might be 'familiar to' you.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Identify the adjective 'familiar'.
Step 2: Recall the prepositions that follow 'familiar'. 'Familiar with' is used when talking about knowing or being acquainted with something (a fact, a subject, a situation). 'Familiar to' is used when someone or something is recognizable to you.
Step 3: Apply the correct preposition for the context. Since the context is knowledge of 'the situation', 'with' is the correct choice.
