Q1. Complete the given sentence by choosing the most appropriate response from the options given below: He was reprimanded ___________ his teacher for biting his nails.
A for
B by Correct
C in
D to
Explanation
The sentence is in the passive voice: "He was reprimanded by his teacher." In passive constructions, "by" introduces the doer of the action, here the teacher who scolded him. "For" is already used correctly before the reason, "biting his nails," and cannot introduce the doer. "In" does not fit the verb "reprimanded" in this structure. "To" would suggest direction or recipient, which is not the relation needed between the reprimanded person and the teacher.
