Prepositions

• Words that precede nouns/pronouns and indicate their relation to another noun are called prepositions.

• They answer questions like where, when, whose, etc.

• They can indicate a direction (to the left), time(since, before, after), location (at, on, behind), or space (under, over).

• In the given sentence, we have to fill the blank with a preposition that links afflicted and arthritis.

• Since a person has a disease, the most suitable preposition is 'with'.

Hence the correct answer is: The poor man is afflicted with arthritis.
