Question

He agreed _____ my demands.
1) to
2) with
3) on
4) in

Answer 1

to

He agreed to my demands.

Explanation:

Preposition: A Preposition is a word which sits before a Noun or a Pronoun and relate it with another word.

Example: He sits on the chair. The sun shines above our head. Here, 'on', 'above' are Prepositions.

In this question, we must understand that some Prepositions sit properly after a Verb and relate it with other parts of a sentence.

• Here, the word 'agree' suggests that 'He' is agreeing to demands or queries, and so we choose 'to' as the appropriate Preposition.
• Thus our complete sentence is: He agreed to my demands.

Answer 2

Answer:

He agreed to my demands.

Explanation :

• 'To' is correct among the given options. It is a preposition.

• A preposition is a word placed before a noun or a pronoun to show the relation of that noun or pronoun with some other words in a sentence.

• Here 'to' has been used before an adjective pronoun, 'my' and it shows the relation between 'he agreed' and 'my demands.

• Second option 'with' seems that it is right but it is not. When 'with' is used after 'agree' it stands for person ( I agree with you ) and 'to' after it means proposal ( I agree to your proposal ). Here 'demands' expresses 'proposal'. You in the above sentence is a second person ( personal ) pronoun.

• Example : They agreed to my expected salary.
