Choose the correct option.It is natural for us to exert _ our own success
Correct answer: B. At
- A. In
- B. At
- C. Against
- D. Regarding
Explanation
The preposition "at" is used with "exert" to indicate the target or focus of effort. Saying "exert at our own success" means directing effort toward achieving success. Other prepositions like "on" or "for" do not correctly convey the sense of aiming or applying effort toward a goal in this context.

About Prepositions
Prepositions link a noun or pronoun to the rest of the sentence, showing place, time, direction or relation. The difficulty is idiomatic rather than logical: English fixes particular prepositions to particular verbs and adjectives, so “good at,” “married to” and “differ from” have to be learned as units rather than reasoned out.
