Answer 2

The portrait is true to life.

Explanation-

• Prepositions are used in sentences to refer to places, positions, times, etc. They link the pronoun and the noun in a sentence.
• Every proposition has a purpose and tells us different relations in a sentence.
• The most used prepositions are of, by, in, on, at, from, to, into, onto, off, etc.
• The portrait in the sentence is compared to another aspect which is life. And to draw that comparison 'to' will be used.
• It is used in the form of phrasal verbs as and when we say something is true to life, saying something is actually surreal in nature.
• In these many ways 'to' can be used as a preposition for drawing comparisons, to show some extent or limit.
• The other options in and like are used for some different reasons such as to indicate a position we use 'in', and hence do not count as a correct answer here.
