Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To complete the sentence, select the correct preposition. The sentence is: "A mask is used to hide the identity __ a person." Consider the options:

• of: Indicates possession or relationship. Correct here, showing whose identity is hidden: the identity of a person.
• for: Indicates purpose. Incorrect in this context.
• being: A gerund/participle, not a preposition. Incorrect.
• at: Indicates location/time. Incorrect.

Therefore, "of" is correct, and the complete sentence is: "A mask is used to hide the identity of a person."
