For conclusion, the death of local languages is an alarming development.
- A. For
- B. the
- C. of local
- D. an alarming
The correct preposition to use in this sentence is A. For.
Here’s why:
- “For” is used to introduce the reason or cause of something. In this sentence, the reason for the conclusion is the alarming development of local languages dying.
- “The” is a definite article used before singular nouns. It wouldn’t work here because “conclusion” is a general concept.
- “Of local” doesn’t make sense grammatically.
- “An alarming” is the correct adjective phrase to describe the development.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: For conclusion, the death of local languages is an alarming development.
