Question

The boy was cured _____ typhoid.

• A. From
• B. Of
• C. For
• D. Through

Hint:

Remember, we say cured of an illness, not cured from it.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The verb cure pairs with the preposition of when talking about an illness or bad habit. We say a person is cured of a disease. The boy was cured of typhoid means the illness typhoid was removed from him through treatment.
So option B, Of, is correct.
The other prepositions do not fit this fixed pattern. We do not say cured from, cured for, or cured through in standard English.
