PYST : General Awareness - SSC Stenographer 2024 (Tier-I) (10-Dec-2024) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
with

The correct answer is with.

The preposition "with" is used to indicate agreement or disagreement. The sentence describes a situation where his friends held a different opinion compared to him. Other prepositions don't fit the context of expressing opposing viewpoints. "For" implies a reason or purpose, "on" suggests a topic or surface, and "to" indicates direction or movement, none of which accurately convey the meaning of disagreement.

Therefore, "His friends disagreed with him on that point" is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning clearly. The sentence structure highlights the difference in opinions between the subject and his friends.

Understanding the nuances of prepositions is crucial for accurate and effective communication. Choosing the right preposition often depends on the specific context and the relationship between the words in the sentence. In this instance, "with" accurately reflects the opposition in viewpoints.
