Which of the following prepositions introduces objects of verbs?

  1. Of

  2. In

  3. From

  4. With

The correct answer is: Of

The answer is correct because the preposition "of" commonly introduces objects connected to nouns, rather than directly linking to the verbs themselves. In many constructions, "of" can indicate possession, association, or origin, which are essential in elaborating the relationships between ideas in a sentence. While "in," "from," and "with" also serve important roles as prepositions, they do not specifically introduce objects of verbs in the same way that "of" does. For instance, "in" can indicate location or position, "from" can express a point of origin, and "with" often denotes companionship or tools. However, they are less focused on introducing the objects that verbs act upon when compared to "of." Therefore, recognizing the unique function of "of" in connecting ideas makes it the appropriate choice for this question.
