Question 1:
Sandra is married _____ Paul.
A. at
B. on
C. to
Feedback For the test sentence ‘Sandra is married _____ Paul.’ we need to choose a preposition after the adjective ‘married’ that means ‘having a wife or a husband; formally joined in marriage with another person’.We can use two prepositions after the adjective ‘married’ if it is used after the verb ‘be’: (1) ‘with’(They are happily married with several children.); (2) ‘to’ (George Clooney is married to Amal Alamuddin.). If we speak about someone’s spouse it’s not possible to use ‘be married with anyone’, we can use only one preposition in this case – ‘be married to someone’. The preposition ‘with’ is used after the adjective ‘married’ only if we are speaking about a child or children of this or that married couple: They are married with twins.; I’d like to be married with kids.Therefore, as the context is given, we are to choose ANSWER 3 (to).
D. with
