In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase(s) which best fill(s) the gap(s):
The judge acquitted the accused .... all the eight counts
of
on
from
upon
Explanation
Prepositions are the words that join a noun, pronoun or the noun phrases and make each sentence complete. ''of'' is the correct option because in this context, it is used to specify the number or an amount. Hence the statement would read,
The judge acquitted the accused of all the eight counts.
