Correct Answer: of bad news


Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.

Here, replace the preposition "of" with 'by' to make the sentence contextually meaningful and grammatically correct. In passive structure, the preposition "by" is used to denote an agent. In the given context, to denote what is causing the distraction, the preposition "by" should be used.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Give yourself a chance to be distracted by bad news."
