Fill in the blank with the most appropriate preposition.
She has a strong aversion __________ spicy food.
Answer: A
The right preposition is to: 'She has a strong aversion to spicy food.'
Aversion, a strong dislike, is followed by to in standard usage: 'an aversion to noise', 'an aversion to hard work'. The noun follows the pattern of the verb averse ('averse to risk').
For is sometimes heard ('an aversion for') but is less standard. About and against do not combine with aversion; against belongs with words such as prejudice or bias.
