Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: with ; for — I am happy with him for helping me.
Explanation:
Use "happy with" when referring to being pleased about a person ("happy with him").
Use "for" to introduce the reason or action ("for helping me").
Combined: "I am happy with him for helping me." means you are pleased with him because he helped you.
Note: "happy for him" is different — it means you are pleased on his behalf (for example, "I am happy for him that he got the job").
