Question : Directions: In the given question, a sentence is given with a blank to be filled in with an appropriate word. Four alternatives are suggested for each question. Choose the correct alternative out of the four alternatives.
Sheila gained an advantage ____ me.
Option 1: from
Option 2: on
Option 3: over
Option 4: upon
Correct Answer: over
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
The preposition over is the correct choice in this sentence, as it helps to indicate that Sheila gained an advantage in a way that surpasses or exceeds the advantage held by the person being compared (in this case, the speaker).
- From implies receiving something, but it doesn't convey the idea of gaining an advantage over someone.
- On is used to indicate a physical location or topic of discussion, and it doesn't convey the intended meaning.
- Upon is a less common preposition for expressing this kind of relationship or advantage and is not as suitable as "over" in this context.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Sheila gained an advantage over me.
