C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct preposition is 'to' because the phrase 'grateful to' is the standard idiomatic expression when expressing gratitude toward a person. 'Grateful for' is used with things or abstract concepts (e.g., 'grateful for help'), while 'grateful of' and 'grateful on' are not standard English collocations.

C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct phrasal verb is 'burst into tears,' which is a fixed idiomatic expression in English meaning to suddenly start crying. 'Burst in' would mean to enter a room suddenly, 'burst onto' refers to jumping onto a surface, and 'burst upon' is not a standard collocation with tears.

B Correct answer
Explanation

The verb 'listen' requires the preposition 'to' when followed by a person (e.g., 'listen to me'). 'Listen for' means to wait expectantly to hear something, 'listen of' is not standard English, and 'None of these' is incorrect because 'to' is the right choice.

B Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase 'a life of integrity' uses the preposition 'of' to show possession or characteristic. The noun 'integrity' describes the quality of the life, so 'of' is the correct preposition. 'Life to,' 'life for,' and 'life on' don't convey this relationship in standard English.
