Questions :
Choose the most suitable option to replace the bracket part of the sentence: Somesh must adapt (with the circumstances).
Options :
- at the circumstances
- the circumstances
- to the circumstances
- by the circumstances
correct answer : c)
Explanation :
The verb adapt is followed by the preposition to when it means adjusting oneself to a situation. Therefore, the correct phrase is adapt to the circumstances.
The option at the circumstances is grammatically incorrect because the preposition at is not used with adapt. The option the circumstances is incomplete and does not form a correct expression. The option by the circumstances changes the meaning and suggests being influenced or controlled by circumstances rather than adjusting to them.
Thus, the correct sentence is:
Somesh must adapt to the circumstances.
