Answer:
He made a point of coming late so that everyone would look at her.
The most appropriate preposition would be "of"
Explanation:
- Prepositions are the relational or function words that indicate how a noun or noun phrase establishes a relation to the rest of the sentence.
- Some prepositions, such as in, on, after, or since, express temporal or spatial relationships.
- While in other cases, the relationship is more abstract and the best preposition to use may depend on the words around it.
- It is thus necessary to choose prepositions carefully because sometimes changing a preposition can completely alter the meaning of the phrase.
- Here the simple or single one-word preposition "of" is used to indicate belongings or something related to somebody
Therefore the correct preposition would be-
He made a point of coming late so that everyone would look at her.
