Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1: (A)-(i), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV) -> Incorrect because "grateful among" and "divide for" are not proper collocations.

Option 2: (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(i), (D)-(IV) -> "grateful for" (expressing thanks), "rise above" (overcome), "divide among" (distribute between multiple people), "enter into" (begin a formal arrangement) are all correct prepositional phrases.

Option 3: (A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(i) -> Incorrect because "grateful above" and "rise for" are not standard English expressions.

Option 4: (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(i), (D)-(II) -> Incorrect because "grateful into" and "enter for partnership" are grammatically wrong.


Hence, Option 2: (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(i), (D)-(IV) -> Each preposition forms a standard collocation: "grateful for" expresses appreciation, "rise above" means to overcome challenges, "divide among" distributes items between multiple people, and "enter into" initiates formal partnerships -> correct
