Question and options
Fill in the blanks with correct prepositions.
Today polio is almost unheard of as most people are immune _____ it as a result _____ vaccination.
- to, of
- against, by
- from, in
- by, of
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - to, of
The adjective 'immune' takes 'to' for a disease (immune to polio), and the fixed phrase is 'as a result of' something. So the sentence reads 'immune to it as a result of vaccination'; 'immune from' is used for exemption, as in 'immune from prosecution'.
