Question

Mark prevailed ________ me to join him for the picnic....insert suitable preposition..

Answer 1

Mark prevailed upon me to join him for the picnic.

Answer 2

Answer:

'Mark prevailed upon me to join him for the picnic.'  

Explanation:

'Prepositions' are short words that come before a noun and show how nouns and pronouns are 'related' to another word given in a sentence.

In the given sentence, the suitable preposition is ‘upon’. ‘Prevailed upon’ means to ‘persuade someone to do something’.

So, in the sentence, Mark persuaded me to join him. He wished me to join him for the picnic.

So, the equivalent word for persuaded is prevailed upon.
