Fill In The Blanks

easy
English

It’s difficult to reconcile such different points of view.

A
with
B
to
C
in
D
on
Explanation and memory cue

The verb 'reconcile' is commonly followed by the preposition 'with' when referring to bringing different points of view or ideas into agreement. The phrase 'reconcile such different points of view' is correct and complete without an additional preposition after 'reconcile.' However, if a preposition is used to specify the relationship, it is 'with.' Therefore, the correct choice among the options given is 'D' (on) if the sentence were to include a preposition, but the sentence as given is correct without any preposition after 'reconcile.' The original answer 'B' (to) is incorrect in this context.
