Highlights _____ the events will be televised today.

1. Analyze the question The sentence needs a preposition to link "Highlights" to "the events." The question tests which preposition collocates with "highlights" in this context.

2. Explain the concept In English, "highlights of" is the standard collocation for the most important or memorable parts of something, such as "highlights of the match," "highlights of the speech," or "highlights of the year." The preposition of shows that the highlights are a part taken from a whole, which here is the events.

The other prepositions don't fit:

• for: "highlights for the events" suggests the highlights are meant for the events, which changes the meaning.
• in: "highlights in the events" is not the natural phrase. You could say "the highlight in a series of events," but not with this plural meaning.
• on: "highlights on the events" is not idiomatic English.

3. Solution Test each option in the sentence:

• A. "Highlights of the events will be televised today." This is correct and natural.
• B. "Highlights for the events will be televised today." This is awkward and changes the meaning.
• C. "Highlights in the events will be televised today." This is unnatural.
• D. "Highlights on the events will be televised today." This is not idiomatic.

4. Answer The correct option is A. of.

5. Exam tip Learn the common noun and preposition pairs, because WASSCE tests them often. For example: highlights of, summary of, member of, cause of, solution to, reason for. If a noun means "a part of a whole," the preposition is usually of.
