Fill in the blank in the given sentence by choosing the most appropriate word from the options given below :
I am proud to say that all her efforts have resulted __________ securing the top rank.
RSMSSB - 2024, RSMSSB Mahila Supervisor - 2024,
Answer: C
The correct preposition is in: resulted in securing the top rank.
The verb result takes 'in' before the outcome: her efforts resulted in success. It takes 'from' before the cause: her success resulted from her efforts.
Here 'efforts' is the cause and 'securing the top rank' the outcome, so 'in' is right and 'from' reverses the meaning. 'Resulted by' and 'resulted into' are not standard English.
