She stood . . . . . . . . Amit, but could not utter a single word for quite some time.

for
to
about
before E. towards

The correct answer is: B. to

She stood to Amit, but could not utter a single word for quite some time.

  • A. for – She stood for Amit, meaning she was supporting him or advocating for him.
  • C. about – She stood about Amit, meaning she was talking about him.
  • D. before – She stood before Amit, meaning she was in front of him.
  • E. towards – She stood towards Amit, meaning she was moving towards him.

In this case, the best answer is B. to because it implies that she was standing in front of him, close enough to talk to him, but she was unable to speak.
