Remark | We should remember that some nouns are used with specific prepositions after them.In the test sentence ‘His reaction _____ that accident was rather aggressive.’ we need to choose the preposition after the noun ‘reaction’.We can use three prepositions after the noun ‘reaction’ that means ‘behaviour, a feeling or an action that is a direct result of something else’ or ‘a change in people’s attitudes, behavior, fashions etc that happens because they disapprove of the way in which things were done in the past’: (1) ‘against’ (There has been strong reaction against the government's policies.); (2) ‘to’ (Their shock is a natural reaction to such bad news.); (3) ‘from’ (At the mention of George’s name, I saw a noticeable reaction from Jessica’s mom.).Therefore, among the test answers we are to choose ANSWER 2: ‘to’. |
