Select the most appropriate preposition to complete the following sentence:

I'm afraid you may be ______ for a bit of shock.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Option 1 -> "be out for" typically means actively seeking something (e.g., "out for revenge"), which doesn't fit the context of experiencing a shock.

Option 2 -> "be on for" is not a standard idiomatic expression that works in this context.

Option 3 -> "be in for" is the correct idiom meaning "about to experience something," often something unexpected or unpleasant.

Option 4 -> "be down for" means "willing to do/try something" in informal speech, which doesn't suit this warning context.

Hence, Option 3: in -> The phrase "be in for a shock" is a common English idiom used to warn someone that they are about to experience something surprising or unexpected. The preposition "in" combines with "for" to create this fixed expression. -> correct
