The superior thought _____ the most suitable person to the job.

A
On
B
At
C

D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

The phrase 'The superior thought _____ the most suitable person to the job' requires the preposition 'of' after 'thought' to be grammatically correct, as in 'The superior thought of the most suitable person to the job.' Since 'of' is not among the options, none of the given options (A: On, B: At, C: Out) are correct. Therefore, the correct answer is 'D' (None of these). The explanation in the original question incorrectly states that 'on' is correct, but standard English usage confirms that 'thought of' is the proper phrase when considering or reflecting about someone or something.
