Fill in the blank with the correct preposition: ‘He apologized ___ his mistake.’

Explanation

The verb ‘apologize’ is conventionally followed by the preposition ‘for’ when specifying the reason for the apology, as in ‘apologized for his mistake’ or ‘apologized for being late.’ This is one of the most frequently tested verb-preposition collocations, since learners often mistakenly pair ‘apologize’ with ‘about’ or ‘of’ instead.
