Fill in the blank with the correct preposition: ‘He is angry ___ his brother for breaking the vase.’

Explanation

When describing anger directed at a person, English conventionally uses the preposition ‘with,’ as in ‘angry with his brother,’ while ‘angry at’ is generally reserved for situations or things rather than people, as in ‘angry at the delay.’ This distinction between ‘angry with’ (for people) and ‘angry at’ (for situations) is a commonly tested nuance.
