Correct Answer: from


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

The preposition from is the correct choice in this sentence because it is commonly used to indicate the separation of one person or thing from another. In this context, it conveys that the mother and her married daughter separated from each other, and the parting was accompanied by sorrow.

  • For is not typically used to indicate separation between individuals in this way.
  • Off and away do not convey the same sense of parting or separation as "from" does.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The mother parted from her married daughter in sorrow.
