A. on recognition of B. in gratitude for C. in recognition to D. by recognition of E. in recognition of
Correct Answer: E
Explanation
Explanation:
"In recognition of" is the correct phrase used to indicate that the award was given as an acknowledgment or appreciation of someone's contributions or achievements.
Why the other options are incorrect:
A. on recognition of – This is not a standard phrase used in this context. The phrase "in recognition of" is the proper expression.
B. in gratitude for – "In gratitude for" implies a sense of thankfulness but does not fit the context of honoring someone for their achievements.
C. in recognition to – "In recognition to" is grammatically incorrect because "recognition" is typically followed by "of" and not "to."
D. by recognition of – This is also incorrect because "by" is not used in this context to indicate the reason for the honor.
