Solution

The correct preposition to fill in the blank in the sentence is "about."

Explanation

When expressing feelings like anger, the preposition "about" is typically used to indicate the reason for that emotion. In this context, Fiona's anger is directed towards her boss's decision, which is the cause of her feelings. The other options are not appropriate in this context:

  1. For implies support or favor, which does not fit the context of being angry.
  2. Against would suggest opposition but does not convey personal emotion as effectively as "about."
  3. By indicates a method or means, which does not apply to expressing feelings about a decision.

Final Answer

Fiona is very angry about her boss's decision to sack several members of staff.
