Answer 1

Answer:

A. with

• With" is the correct preposition to use after "pleased" when referring to a person or thing that has caused satisfaction or pleasure.
• pleased with somebody/something
• "On": Incorrect in this context; it's not used with "pleased."
• "Over": Incorrect in this context; it might be used in some expressions like "pleased over the results," but not with a person.
• "Of": Incorrect, as it doesn't fit the structure of this sentence.
