Fill in the blank with the correct preposition: ‘He depends ___ his parents for financial support.’

Explanation

The verb ‘depend’ is conventionally followed by the preposition ‘on’ (or ‘upon’) when describing reliance on someone or something, as in ‘depend on his parents.’ Note that the sentence already contains a separate ‘for financial support,’ which specifies what kind of support is being relied upon, while ‘on’ specifically links the verb ‘depends’ to the people being relied upon.
