Answer 1

Answer:

we prefer fruit to sweets .

Answer 2

We prefer fruit to sweets.

• The usage of "to" or "over", with the "prefer" is still a topic of argument in the field of English grammar, because both are grammatically correct.
• But, "to" is most commonly used with the "prefer" in the formal English and most of the grammatical experts are on the side of the usage of "to" rather than the usage of "over".
• That's why, the usage of "to" is safer and appropriate for the given fill in the blank.
