Zorluk: ZorPrepositions and Prepositional Phrases

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate preposition to complete the sentence below.

Cevap:Despite prolonged diplomatic negotiations and severe economic sanctions, the autocratic regime remained completely impervious 【to】 external pressure.

Cevap

The preposition that correctly completes the sentence is 'to'.
The adjective 'impervious' takes the fixed dependent preposition 'to' when indicating that a person, entity, or object cannot be affected, penetrated, or influenced by external factors.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the adjective requiring a dependent preposition in the sentence context.
The target adjective is 'impervious'.
In English grammar, specific adjectives require fixed dependent prepositions to form standard collocations.
2
Select the correct dependent preposition that collocates with 'impervious'.
'Impervious' correctly collocates with 'to' (meaning incapable of being affected or influenced by something).
Substituting other prepositions such as 'against', 'from', or 'with' results in non-standard prepositional usage.
