Direction : Select the appropriate preposition to fill in the blanks in the following sentences.
Beware ______ backbiters.
Answer: C
The correct preposition is of: Beware of backbiters.
Beware of means be on your guard against something dangerous: beware of the dog, beware of pickpockets. A backbiter is a person who speaks ill of others behind their back.
'Beware from', 'beware to' and 'beware with' are not used in English.
The word is a fusion of 'be' and the old adjective 'ware' (wary), and it is used almost only in the imperative or after verbs such as 'must' and 'should'.
