Question and options
Find out the correct preposition to fill the blank.
I am accustomed __________ hot water
- with
- for
- on
- to
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - to
“Accustomed” takes “to”: to be accustomed to something is to be used to it, as in “I am accustomed to hot water”. “Accustomed with”, “for” and “on” are common errors, and the “to” here is a preposition, so a noun or gerund follows it.
