Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct sentence: The car belongs to my father.
Why this is correct: 'belongs to' is the standard collocation used to indicate ownership.
to — indicates ownership when used in the phrase 'belongs to', which is why 'The car belongs to my father' is appropriate.
of — does not form the usual collocation for ownership here. A more natural alternative would be the possessive form 'my father's car' or a rephrasing 'the car of my father', which is less common.
at — expresses location or position, not possession, so it does not convey that the car is owned by the father.
with — suggests accompaniment or that someone has something with them temporarily; it is not the standard way to express ownership in this sentence.
