Hence option C is the correct answer.
Question 6

On / of

Solution

We can determine the correct answer with the help of logic and by eliminating the incorrect answer.
In the given sentence the person talks about his interest in breads. The prepositions 'at' and 'in' are not used to indicate interests. Thus we can eliminate option A and B as incorrect answers.
On is used to indicate place,specific date, direction, by means of or about and Of is used to indicate possession, relation, substance, cause or about. The speaker is talking about bread and her liking for it. Thus option D is the correct answer.

A
Of / in / for

B
From / for / of

C
From / in / to

D
Of / to / for

Solution

The given sentence indicates possession. Thus the first blank must be filled with 'of' as it is used to indicate possession. Thus we can eliminate option B and C as incorrect.
In is used to indicate a belief, opinion, interest, or feeling. Thus the second blank must be filled with 'in' as it expresses an interest in getting something in return.
For is used to indicate a space of time, use of something, to show who is intended to have or use something. Thus, 'for' fulfills the last blank.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
Question 8

Fill in the blanks with suitable prepositions:
If you're _______ trouble, you ought to confide _______ someone and ask ________ advice.

A
At / to / for

B
In / in / for

C
In / with / of

D
On / in / for

Solution

We can determine the correct answer with the help of logic and by eliminating the incorrect options.
At and on indicates position and place. Since the given sentence does not talks about any place,options A and B must be incorrect.
'In' indicates a position within. So, the verb confide and the noun trouble will take the preposition in. Thus option B is the correct answer.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with suitable prepositions:
Who's the girl ________ blue ________ yellow hair?

A
In / with

B
With / with

C
Of / in

With is used to indicate means, possession, contents, relationship, for and against. The second par of the given sentence shows possession. So, 'with' must fill the second blank. This eliminates options C and D as incorrect.
In is used to indicate place, time, occupation, state, subject or matter. The first part of the sentence indicates the state of the girl. So, 'in' must fill the first blank.
Thus option A is the correct answer.
Question 10

A
In / for
