After six months, you can also speak in English . . . . . me.

A. around

B. like

C. without

D. about

Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The sentence requires a preposition that indicates similarity or resemblance in the ability to speak English. The correct preposition is "like." The sentence then reads: "After six months, you can also speak English like me."

This implies that the speaker's English proficiency will be similar to the person they are addressing.

Why other options are incorrect:
A. around: This preposition suggests proximity or surrounding something. It doesn't convey the intended meaning of similarity in language skills.
C. without: This preposition denotes absence or lack of something. It's grammatically incorrect in this context because it would imply the speaker can speak English *in the absence* of the other person, which is nonsensical.
D. about: "About" indicates a topic or subject. While grammatically possible ("After six months you can also speak *about* English like me"), it changes the meaning drastically, implying they can talk *regarding* English, not demonstrating equal ability.
