Readers ___ happy endings may find the unvarnished view of mordern motherhood a bit unsettling.
Readers ___ happy endings may find the unvarnished view of mordern motherhood a bit unsettling.
a) fond, B) preferred, C) adapted to, D) accustomed to
The correct answer is D.
Why B isn't a proper answer?
Is it because there is nothing to compare for so couldn't use 'prefer'?

The reason you can't use answer B here is strictly because of grammar. If the option was "who prefer", then it would be alright. The sentence would need to be "Readers who prefer happy endings...."
Hope this helps :)

It is more a grammar problem than a vocabulary one as you thought.
The subject is "Readers",and the predicate is "find".Therefore,answer B provides you a second predicate,which is totally wrong.
Readers accustomed to happy endings may find.... = Readers who are accustomed to happy endings may find.....
