Not so fast—sit with the options before you scroll. Precision matters, and small words like these separate natural English from almost-right English. This moment of pause sharpens your instincts.

✅ Correct:

B. to

To stay true to something means to remain faithful or loyal to it, especially when it would be easier to bend. The other prepositions don’t create an idiomatic expression here.

Examples:
He stayed true to his values.
They stayed true to their promise.

Don't rush. Taking a moment to think helps you catch the nuance before you scroll. Steady judgment matters. ⏬️⏬️⏬️

✅ Correct:

C. on

To act on principle means to make decisions based on your moral or ethical beliefs, even when it’s inconvenient. The other prepositions don’t form idiomatic combinations here.

Examples:
She acted on principle and rejected the offer.
They acted on principle despite criticism.

🇯🇵 「原則に従って行動する」という決まった表現です。

Stop for a moment and judge what truly fits before scrolling. It matters here. ⏬️⏬️⏬️

✅ Correct:

C. assess

Explanation:
“Assess risks” is the standard collocation when evaluating danger before taking action. The others don’t form natural or meaningful combinations in this context.

Examples:
We need to assess risks before moving forward.
She quickly assessed the risks and chose the safer route.

🇯🇵「assess risks」は「リスクを見極める」という自然な組み合わせです。

[Adamorbis@🇺🇲BilingualTESLCo.上級英語学習者向け @ADAMORBIS]

@khurshidahmed4 Almost, Khurshid. The natural phrasing is "act on principle." "Act in principle" isn’t idiomatic.
