Fill in the blank with the appropriate word: It is difficult for me to part__________ my belongings.

The correct answer is A) with. The idiom is part with, meaning to give up or surrender something you own or value. The sentence says it is hard for the speaker to give up their belongings, so with is the only fit.

• B) from is wrong. Part from means to separate or leave a person or place, as in "they parted from their friends at the station." It is about physical or emotional separation, not giving up possessions.
• C) away is wrong. Part away is not a standard English idiom and does not fit this sense.
• D) off is wrong. Part off is not the idiom used here. Do not confuse it with "break off" or "set off".

The core concept is prepositional collocation: many English verbs take a fixed preposition, and the meaning depends on that pair. This matters for the English paper in Mains, where precision in idiom and usage is rewarded in precis and essay language.

Trap: Aspirants pick "from" because they recall "part from" as a common phrase. Ask whether the object is a person or place (use from) or something you give up (use with).
