Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

Mr. Mehta is a good acquaintance of my father and I can always _________ them for anything I need in this new city.

A.            Dependant over him

B.            Depend of him

C.            Depend on him

D.            Dependant of him

Sol:

‘Depend’ means be able to trust; rely on, and it takes preposition ‘on/upon’ with it, use of ‘of/for/over’ etc is incorrect with it so the correct answer is option c ‘depend on him’.
