Fill in the blank with the correct word from the options given below:-

The prisoner was acquitted ------ all charges.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The verb 'acquit' takes the preposition 'of' when referring to charges: one is acquitted of a charge. 'Off', 'from', and 'with' are unidiomatic here. Hence 'The prisoner was acquitted of all charges.'
