alleryWhich sentence uses the correct adjective-preposition combination?
AHe is angry with the noise.
BHe is angry at his brother for lying.
CHe is angry of the delay.
DHe is angry to the decision.
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. He is angry at his brother for lying.
**The correct pattern is:** angry at a thing, but angry with a person.
In option B, the person is "his brother," so "angry with" is correct
the reason "for lying" is also natural.
**Option A is wrong because noise is a thing, so it should be "angry at the noise."**
