Question

Q. Fill in the blank:
She died ____ cholera.
a.) in
b.) of
c.) by
d.) to

Answer 1

She died of cholera.

• In the English language, the preposition 'of' is used to show how one thing relates to another.
• 'Of' is a preposition which shows between other words.
• In the above sentence the preposition 'of' builds a relationship between 'she' and 'cholera'.
• Hence, the correct preposition is b) of.
