Correct Answer: blessed with


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation : The collocation "blessed with" is commonly used to express joy and gratitude for the arrival of a baby. It conveys the idea that the birth of the baby is considered a blessing or a source of great happiness.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Delighted with: This collocation is used to express joy or pleasure about something.
  • Prepared with: This collocation does not fit the context of announcing the arrival of a baby.
  • Provided with: This collocation implies being supplied or equipped with something.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Arun and his wife were blessed with a baby boy after 18 years of their marriage."
