Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct answer: 'to'
Corrected sentence: Mithibai College is affiliated to Mumbai University.
Explanation: The adjective 'affiliated' is followed by a preposition to show the organization with which something is connected. In this context, 'to' is the expected preposition. 'Affiliated with' is also grammatically acceptable in general usage, but the tested improvement here is 'to'.
Notes on form:
Capitalize proper nouns: write 'Mithibai College', not 'Mithibai college'.
Omit the definite article before the university name here: say 'Mumbai University', not 'the Mumbai University'.
Examples:
They are affiliated to larger organizations.
I was not affiliated with that publication in any capacity.
