Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award was conferred _________ Mary Kom, a six-time world champion in boxing, recently in a ceremony ________ the Rashtrapati Bhawan (the President's official residence) in New Delhi.

Correct Answer:

A

with, at

B

on, in

C

on, at

D

to, at

Use “on” and “at”. In the construction “confer an award on someone”, on introduces the recipient of the honour. The award was therefore conferred on Mary Kom.

At identifies the venue of the ceremony: at the Rashtrapati Bhawan. The paired choice is on, at.
