_____ child is fond ____ sweets
(Fill in the blanks with artical and preposition)
The correct way to fill in the blanks would be:
"The child is fond of sweets."
Explanation:
1. Here we need to use the indefinite article "a" before the word "child" because we are not referring to a specific child, but any child in general.
2. We use the preposition "of" after the verb "fond" to indicate what the child is fond of, in this case, sweets.
