A highly trained and highly paid tool maker enrolled in an evening literature course said, “I just decided there has to be more _____ life than work, a few beers; and the bowling alley.”

A) about B) with C) to D) during

C) is the answer.

My question is if other three options are not acceptable at all

(And BTW: what is a tool maker?)

Thanks for your opinions!

Hi,

A highly trained and highly paid tool maker enrolled in an evening literature course said, “I just decided there has to be more _____ life than work, a few beers, and the bowling alley.”

A) about B) with C) to D) during

C) is the answer.

My question is if other three options are not acceptable at all

The standard expression is 'There has to be more to something than something'.

Best wishes, Clive
