of, off
Explanation
Fill-in-the-blank questions often require understanding the context, word choices, their standard positions, meanings and then putting them all together into a well-formed sentence based on grammatical rules. This sentence is trying to communicate something about a show that's one of her favorites, and the turning of a TV. Because no specific options are provided, we can deduce the answer from common language use. The preposition "of" typically succeeds the word "one" to signify fraction or a certain part. Thus the word that should fill the first blank is "of". The second blank requires a word that would fit into the following context: "I am doing something to the TV". When done in this context, prepositions such as up, off, or on are common. In terms of a show not being viewed in time, the correct word would be "off".So the sentence is: Although I knew it was one of her favourite shows, I turned off the TV.
