I need to find out which preposition is more suitable for the sentence below;
“Could we not just be selective with/in/about our potential themes.”
Thanks!
Answer
The following are fine:
- Could we not just be selective with our potential themes.
- Could we not just be selective in our potential themes.
- Could we not just be selective about our potential themes.

The first feels the most natural to me.
Conversely, “selective on” is not valid English.
