Directions: Choose the correct preposition for the blank given below: She has…

Explanation:

Key point: The noun "affection" is commonly followed by the preposition "for" to show a warm feeling directed toward someone or something.

• "within" means inside or contained by something and does not express a feeling directed toward a person.

• "into" indicates movement or change of state (e.g., "put into the box", "turn into") and is not used for static emotions.

• "against" means in opposition to or touching and is the opposite of expressing fondness.

• The preposition "for" indicates that the feeling is directed toward someone: "affection for [someone]."

Correct sentence: She has great affection for her grandchildren.

Tip: Learn common collocations (fixed word pairings) such as "affection for," "love for," and "respect for" to choose the correct preposition more easily.
