I have written -- she was unaware of the situation until Miss Kent enlightened her about it. Should the prepositon following the word enlightened be, on.

Anonymous Should the prepositon following the word enlightened be, on. I suppose it could be, but why not omit the phrase entirely? It is unnecessary: She was unaware of the situation until Miss Kent enlightened her.

Both 'about' and 'on' are OK.

'On' seems more ' educated' and stylish to me.
