Question

Maya is wanting _____ common sense.

• A. to
• B. in
• C. on
• D. at

Answer 1

Answer:

B. in

• Prepositions are words that define the time, location, direction, and relation between two or more elements.
• In this sentence, 'wanting' means lacking in something.
• In such a case, the word 'wanting' is followed by the preposition 'in.'
• We get the answer from the phrase 'lacking in.'
• If we replace the word 'lacking' with 'wanting' we get the preposition 'in.'
