    Fill in the blank with the correct preposition.
    I am tired ______ walking endlessly.

    A.

    with

    B.

    of

    C.

    from

    D.

    off

    Correct option is B


    The correct option is (b) of.
    • “Tired of + V-ing / noun” is the standard structure when we mean bored/irritated because of repeated action.
    • “walking endlessly” is a gerund phrase, so “tired of walking” is correct.
    Grammatical Rule Used (English):
    • tired of + noun/gerund = bored/annoyed due to repetition
    Grammatical Rule Used (Hindi):
    • “tired of” का प्रयोग तब होता है जब बार-बार होने वाली क्रिया से ऊब/झुंझलाहट हो।
    Meanings of the other options:
    • (a) with: shows association/means (के साथ)
    • (c) from: shows source/cause, also used with “tired from” = physically exhausted because of effort (से/के कारण)
    • (d) off: separation/removal (से हटकर/अलग)
