Sentence improvement — Correct the preposition after ‘‘opinion’’ in ‘‘My opinion for the film is that it will bag the national ward.’’ Select the most idiomatic choice for formal review writing.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: opinion about

Explanation:


Given sentence
My opinion for the film is that it will bag the national ward.


Concept/Approach
The collocation is ‘‘opinion about/on’’ something, not ‘‘opinion for’’. Also, the obvious spelling slip is ‘‘ward’’ → ‘‘award’’ (a common exam typo); correcting the preposition is the core improvement asked.


Option analysis
A: opinion to — Nonstandard.B: opinion about — Natural and widely used in reviews: ‘‘opinion about the film’’.C: opinion on — Also acceptable in general English, but the keyed best choice here is ‘‘about’’.D: No improvement — Leaves the wrong preposition (and the probable typo) intact.


Common pitfalls
Confusing ‘‘for’’ (purpose/benefit) with the prepositions that correctly follow ‘‘opinion’’ (‘‘about/on/of’’).


Final Answer
opinion about
