What word completes the sentence 'I'm very fond ___ my grandmother'?

• A. Of
• B. To
• C. At
• D. With

Answer: (A)

This question tests the preposition that follows the adjective used to express affection. In English, the common collocation for feeling warmly toward someone is “fond of,” so the sentence should read: “I’m very fond of my grandmother.” The preposition “of” links the feeling to the person. Other options don’t fit because they aren’t used with “fond” to talk about affection toward a person. “Fond to,” “fond at,” or “fond with” aren’t standard expressions in this sense, and would sound incorrect. If you’re talking about liking something rather than a person, you’d still use “fond of” (for example, “I’m fond of reading”).
