Which prepositions can come after "an answer" and are natural?
E.g. the below sentence can show the context the phrase would be used.
I would like to get an answer to/for/of/on this question.
To me, who is not a native English speaker but an intermediate ESL learner, all of them feel natural.
Thank you. :)
Answer
The more idiomatic usage is "an answer to" this question. The preposition "for" could be used alternatively but it is less common.
Other preposition can be used but are much less common as shown in Ngram and they may convey different meanings.
