Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank:

"Luck does not always favour us, so we must always depend ____ our own efforts for success."

Last updated Jul 23, 2026
Correct Answer: Option A — Upon
Explanation
Fixed Preposition Rule: The verb "depend" takes the preposition "on" or "upon" when expressing reliance or trust on something/someone (depend on / depend upon).

Why the others are incorrect:

"For", "In", and "At" do not form a grammatically correct prepositional phrase with the verb "depend" in this context.

Completed Sentence:

"Luck does not always favour us, so we must always depend upon our own efforts for success."
