Fill in the blanks with appropriate prepositions:
His thirst ______ knowledge left him no
Leisure _____ anything else.

Correct option is D

Solution: Correct answer: (d) for, for
Explanation:
His thirst for knowledge left him no leisure for anything else.
The preposition “for” is used to show desire, purpose, or goal.
“Thirst for knowledge” means a strong desire to learn.
“Leisure for anything else” means free time available to do something else.
So, the sentence means:
→ His strong desire to gain knowledge left him with no free time to do other things.
Information Booster:
→ “Thirst for” is a common expression meaning deep desire or craving for something (not just physical thirst).
Examples:
→ She has a thirst for adventure.
→ They have a thirst for success.
→ “Leisure for” is used when talking about having time available for an activity.
Example:
→ He had no leisure for reading.

Similar expressions using “for”:

These all show emotion or desire directed toward something, and the preposition “for” correctly connects that relationship.
