Question

Choose the correct option out of the four choices given:
Give an example pertinent ................... the case.

• A. With
• B. On
• C. For
• D. To

Hint:

Remember, “pertinent” always takes the preposition “to” when referring to relevance or connection.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The adjective "pertinent" means relevant or applicable. The correct prepositional usage is "pertinent to" something.
Let’s analyze each option:
(a) With — Incorrect; "with" does not pair correctly with "pertinent".

(b) On — Incorrect; "on the case" is possible, but not with "pertinent".

(c) For — Incorrect; not the standard preposition used with "pertinent".

(d) To — Correct. The standard phrase is "pertinent to the case", meaning relevant to the case. Correct usage: Give an example pertinent to the case.
