Question

Select the most appropriate option to improve the highlighted segment in the given sentence. If there is no improvement required, select ‘No improvement’.
She is married with a rich businessman and has enough money to splurge on luxuries.

A.

No improvement

B.

is married to

C.

has marriage with

D.

has married with

Correct option is B

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) is married to.
The correct preposition to use with "married" when referring to the person one is married to is "to," not "with." The phrase "married to" is the correct collocation, meaning that the correct usage is "She is married to a rich businessman." "Married with" is incorrect in this context, as "with" would suggest accompanying something rather than describing the relationship.
Grammatical rule used: When referring to the person someone is married to, the correct preposition is "to" (e.g., "married to someone"). This is a standard prepositional usage in English.
Example: Incorrect: She is married with a doctor. Correct: She is married to a doctor.
