Question

I am well-versed ____ English.

• A. For
• B. In
• C. About
• D. With

Hint:

Well-versed always pairs with one fixed preposition, think of expert in.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Some English adjectives always go with one fixed preposition, and we must simply remember these pairs. Well-versed is one such expression, and it always takes in: well-versed in a subject, well-versed in a language, well-versed in a skill.

Try each option in the sentence. Well-versed for English sounds wrong. Well-versed about English is not standard usage. Well-versed with English is also not correct English usage. Only well-versed in English sounds natural and correct.

This confirms option B, In, as the right choice.
