without

B.

about

C.

for

D.

because

Correct option is B


✔️ The correct option to fill in the blank is (b) about.
· Explanation:
· The verb "complain" is followed by the preposition "about" when referring to the subject of the complaint.
· "He complained about his weak eyes" means he expressed concern or dissatisfaction regarding his eyesight.
· Grammatical rule used:
· Verbs like "complain" often take specific prepositions; this is called a verb-preposition collocation.
· Common structure: complain about + noun/gerund (e.g., He complained about the noise.)
· Hindi Explanation: "Complain" के बाद जब शिकायत का कारण बताया जाता है तो "about" का प्रयोग होता है।
· Meanings of the other options:
· (a) without – बिना: It denotes absence and is unrelated to complaints.
· (c) for – के लिए: Incorrect usage here; used to denote purpose or benefit.
· (d) because – क्योंकि: It’s a conjunction, not a preposition.
