• In this exercise, you need to complete the sentence with the appropriate preposition. It is a very simple exercise that does require you to remember too many details.
• To is a preposition that is often used for destination or direction. In this sentence, however, is trying to connect you to a thought that never occurred. Hence we use to. It shows that you didn't have the occurrence and therefore we use to.
• The best way to solve this exercise is to read the sentence so that you can see that it is not grammatically incorrect and sounds right.
• Other prepositions that showcase direction and destination are from. However, it would not fit in the context of this sentence. The direction shown when we use from is one that showcases something that you already have. Hence it would not fit into this sentence.
