Choose the correct sentence from the following options:
Correct answer: C. He left in a blaze of anger.
- A. He left into a blaze of anger.
- B. He left with a blaze of anger.
- C. He left in a blaze of anger.
- D. He left back in a blaze of anger.
Explanation
"Blaze of anger" is a mood so the person has to be "in" it, not "into", with, or "back in", which are all inappropriate use of verbs. 'Blaze of anger' is reflecting an angry emotion. A person can be 'in' option C in an angry mode not into option A, with option B, or back in option D.

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.
