Choose the correct sentence from the following:
Correct answer: C. We should pay maximum accolade to our national heroes
- A. We should pay maximum accolade for our national heroes
- B. We should pay maximum accolade in our national heroes
- C. We should pay maximum accolade to our national heroes
- D. We should pay maximum accolade from our national heroes
Explanation
The sentence 'We should pay maximum accolade to our national heroes' is correct because the preposition 'to' is commonly used to indicate the direction of an action, in this case, directing the accolade towards the national heroes. The other options misuse prepositions, altering the intended direction or source of the accolade.

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.
