Q6
EnglishParts of Speech
He preferred classical music ______ popular numbers. Choose the correct preposition.
- a.from
- b.of
- c.over
- d.to
Answer: (D) to
"Prefer X to Y" is the standard fixed collocation in English for expressing a preference between two things, so "to" is required here, not "over" (which is common in casual speech but not the grammatically preferred form tested in this construction).
