Fill in the Blanks

After a long discussion, I prevailed _______ him to accept the proposal.
A: upon
B: against
C: to
D: above

The answer is: A

Explanation

The correct option is A: upon.

The phrase "prevailed upon" means to persuade or convince someone to do something. In this context, it means that after a long discussion, you managed to persuade him to accept the proposal.

The other options do not fit grammatically or contextually:

"Against" implies opposition, which does not fit the intended meaning.

"To" is not used in this context.

"Above" does not make sense in this context.
