4 for 

Answer 1

The word ‘hindrance’ means ‘interference with the successful completion of something’. If you look up the dictionary, you will find it mentioned that it is followed by the preposition ‘to’; for example ‘The high price is a major hindrance to potential buyers. So the correct option in the sentence is option 1) to.

Child marriage is a great hindrance to progress.

Answer 2

The correct answer for this question is option 1 to because it is being said in the sentence that child marriage is the great hindrance .... progress, means there is something leading towards the progress, so the answer will be 'to'

If we use progress in another sentence again the 'to' will be used.

the meaning of this sentence is the child marriage is a hindrance towards a progress, as this is a leading statement so the answer will be option 1.
