to rely on anybody

to rely in anybody

No improvement

relying at anybody

- The original sentence uses "relying to" which is incorrect. The verb "rely" is usually followed by the preposition "on".

- Option 1: to rely on anybody

- This is the correct substitution. The phrase "rely on" is the standard form for expressing dependence or trust in someone or something.

- This should be the selected option.

- Option 2: to rely in anybody

- "Rely in" is not a correct phrase in English. The correct preposition is "on".

- Option 3: No improvement

- This would imply the original sentence is correct, but it's not. It needs improvement.

- Option 4: relying at anybody

- "Relying at" is not a common or correct phrase. "On" is the appropriate preposition.
