comment We should remember that some nouns are used with specific prepositions after them. In the test sentence ‘Sarah always puts the blame ____ someone else.’ we need to choose the preposition that is used after the noun ‘blame’ that means ‘the situation in which people say or think that someone or something did something wrong or is responsible for something bad happening’. We can use three prepositions after the noun ‘blame’: (1) ‘for’ (I always get the blame for his mistakes!); (2) ‘on’ (He stole the money but he’s trying to put the blame on me.); (3) ‘onto’ (It’s no use trying to shift the blame onto other people.). Among the test answers we can choose ANSWER 4: ‘on’.
