Question

The boy was cured _____ typhoid.

• A. From
• B. Of
• C. For
• D. Through

Hint:

Remember, we say cured of an illness, not cured from it.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Let us test each option in the sentence.
Option A: The boy was cured from typhoid. This sounds wrong, we do not use from with cure.
Option B: The boy was cured of typhoid. This is the natural, correct phrase.
Option C: The boy was cured for typhoid. This changes the meaning and is not standard.
Option D: The boy was cured through typhoid. This suggests typhoid was the method of cure, which is incorrect.
Only option B makes sense, so the answer is Of.
