Choose the correct preposition to fill in the blank: The soil of Mizoram is favourable ___ crops.
A)
in
B)
to
C)
on
D)
by
The word 'favourable' is an adjective that, when used to indicate that something provides an advantage or is helpful for a specific purpose or entity, is typically followed by the preposition 'to'. In this context, 'favourable to' means that the soil conditions in Mizoram are beneficial or conducive for the growth of crops.
Analysis of other options:
- 'in' (a): Used for location or inclusion, which does not fit the semantic requirement of 'favourable'.
- 'on' (b): Used for surfaces or specific days, which is grammatically incorrect here.
- 'by' (d): Used for agency or proximity, which does not align with the meaning of being conducive to growth.
