Question

I will be ___ a loss in this deal.

• A. to
• B. on
• C. at
• D. for

Answer 1

Answer:

C. at

• The correct preposition to use here is "at," as the phrase "at a loss" means to be in a state of uncertainty or financial loss (at a loss - നഷ്ടത്തിൽ, അനിശ്ചിതത്വത്തിലോ സാമ്പത്തിക നഷ്ടത്തിലോ ആയിരിക്കുക)
• I will be at a loss in this deal. (ഈ ഇടപാടിൽ ഞാൻ നഷ്ടത്തിലാകും).
• "To a loss" is not standard English.
• "On a loss" is not idiomatic in this context.
• "For a loss" could be understood in a different context, but not in the sense of experiencing a loss in a deal.
