The preposition 'to' is used to indicate movement towards or the direction of something, As in the given sentence, movement of Mona towards the theatre is mentioned. Therefore, the appropriate option to complete the given sentence is : Option D - to
On the other hand, Option A - 'of' is used to indicate belonging, relating to or connected with something, Option B - 'with' is used to indicate togetherness,  Option C - 'on' is used to indicate surface position of something, which are all unsuitable here.
The completed sentence, thus, becomes : Mona refused to come to the theatre alone.

The correct answer is Option A.
We are to identify prepositions in the given sentence.
Prepositions are words that indicate position.
From, to and by are therefore the prepositions in the sentence.
The remaining options contain articles and pronouns and hence are incorrect.
This option A is the correct answer.

'With' means 'in relation to a person'. It agrees with the first sentence, it is in relation with a person 'you'.
'About' means 'on the subject of, concerning'.
But, this word does not form a complete thought.
Hence OPTION A is incorrect.
'Along' means 'moving in a direction'.
This meaning isn't relevant to the first sentence. Hence OPTION B is incorrect.
'In' indicates a condition or aspect based on which a judgement is made, it refers to the noun 'opinion' here (opinion is a view or judgement).
Since 'with' and 'in' both agree to the sentences, OPTION C is correct.
OPTION D: 'In' does not refer to the noun in the first sentence 'you'.
'Within' means 'inside something' or 'in the limits of'. Both these meanings do not apply to the second sentence.
Hence option D is incorrect.

Here, 'off' is correct because it implies moving away and often down from something, here it is the bicycle.

'Under' is incorrect because it implies below the surface of something; covered by something.
