Answer 1

I don't know how she manages to support. She has nothing except her pension.

Prepositions:

• A preposition is used to show relations and indicate positions of things and people. It basically connects the noun and pronoun of a sentence.
• There are two appropriate prepositions given in the brackets for the fill-up. Both the options a.)except & b.)apart from are prepositions by nature.
• The preposition except is always followed by a noun, and used in situations where an exception is applied in the sentence.
• Similar to the meaning of except is the preposition phrase apart from. The phrase can be used in places of 'except' in some cases.
• But here the case involves 'her' which is a noun after the blank. So it is appropriate and suitable to use the preposition 'except' in the blank.
