Correct option is A


The correct option to fill in the blank is (a) from.
Correct sentence:
Don’t try to divert me from my principles.
Explanation:
The preposition “from” is used with the verb “divert” to express movement away from something—in this case, personal beliefs or principles. It's a fixed collocation: “divert from something”, indicating separation or deviation.
Meaning of the correct word: · From: Used to indicate separation or departure
· Hindi: से; किसी स्थान, मार्ग, विचार या सिद्धांत से अलग होने का संकेत ✅
Grammatical rule used:
Verb + Preposition Collocation – Certain verbs like “divert” require specific prepositions. When expressing removal or change from an original position or idea, “from” is always used.
Hindi explanation:
"Divert" का अर्थ होता है "हटाना" और जब किसी को उसकी सोच या मूल्यों से हटाने की बात होती है, तो "from" preposition का प्रयोग होता है।
उदाहरण: He diverted my attention from the problem.

Hindi: पर; किसी विषय, स्थान, या समय को दर्शाने के लिए ❌
· For: Indicates purpose, benefit, or intended recipient.
Hindi: के लिए; उद्देश्य या लाभार्थी को दर्शाने के लिए ❌
· About: Indicates the subject or topic of something.
Hindi: के बारे में; किसी विषय या व्यक्ति से संबंधित जानकारी देने के लिए ❌
