Question

Identify the preposition(s) in the following sentence:
He is fond of eating biscuits.

• A. he
• B. is
• C. eating
• D. of

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Prepositions along with indicating position also express relation between 2 things or persons.

Option A - 'He' is a third person pronoun. Thus option A is incorrect.

Option B - 'Is' is an auxiliary which is used with a singular subject in the present tense. Thus option B is incorrect.

Option D - 'Eating' is the participle form of the verb. Thus option D is incorrect.

Option C - 'Of' explains possession/beginning/origin. It is a preposition. Thus option C is the correct answer.
