• A. to
• B. for
• C. with
• D. of

Analyzing the noun following the blank will instantly help you choose the correct preposition.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Identify the key adjective.
The adjective is "responsible", and we must find the preposition that correctly follows it.
Step 2: Apply the collocation rule.
"Responsible" is always followed by "for" in standard English usage (e.g., responsible for a task, responsible for an outcome). "Responsible to", "with", or "of" are all incorrect here.
Step 3: Complete the sentence.
"She is responsible for the economic development of the company" is the correct construction.
\[ \boxed{\text{for}} \]
