student asking question

Are any words like "for" or "to" omitted after "responsible"? For me, "be responsible for/to" makes sense.

Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

In this sentence, there are no words omitted. "For" is only necessary here if a noun or object follows, for example, "fast fashion." If the preposition is not followed by something, it is not necessary to include it. Ex: Who's responsible? Ex: Who's responsible for the car accident? Ex: She is responsible. Ex: She is responsible for the car accident.
