    Question

    Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
    The teacher was angry _________ the students.

    A.

    with

    B.

    to

    C.

    by

    D.

    on

    Correct option is A

    The correct option to fill in the blank is (a) with.
    Explanation: Standard preposition use: angry with + person; angry at/about + thing/situation (though angry at a person also occurs, exam norm favors with for persons). Here, “the students” are persons, so angry with fits. Angry = क्रोधित/नाराज़.
    Example: The coach was angry with the players for arriving late.
    Why other options are incorrect:
    · (b) to: Not idiomatic after “angry” ( angry to ✗).
    · (c) by: Suggests agency in passive constructions; not used with “angry” ( angry by ✗).
    · (d) on: Nonstandard Indianism here; standard English uses with/at/about, not on.
