Complete the detective's frustrating interrogation transcript by selecting the correct preposition for each verb.
"Are you going to apologize _________________________ stealing the mayor's prized garden gnome? The witnesses said you didn't even succeed _________________________ hiding it! Your alibi consists entirely _________________________ watching paint dry, and frankly, I don't approve _________________________ your attitude."

The correct prepositions are for, in, of, and of.

You apologize for an action (you apologize to a person, but for an action). We succeed in doing something (never succeed at or succeed with an action). A whole is made up or consists of its parts. You approve of (or disapprove of) someone's behavior.
