Choose the correct sentence out of the following;
Correct answer: C. The meeting does not approve of your scheme.
- A. The meeting does not approve in your scheme.
- B. The meeting do not approves of your scheme.
- C. The meeting does not approve of your scheme.
- D. The meeting does not approve about your scheme
Explanation
The correct answer is Option C: 'The meeting does not approve of your scheme.' This sentence correctly uses 'does not' for a third-person singular subject ('the meeting') and the appropriate prepositional phrase 'approve of'. The other options are incorrect because they either use the wrong verb form or the wrong preposition.

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.
