Hi there! I'd be happy to help! 

In the sentence "She gave the book ____ her friend," the correct preposition is "to."

So, the sentence should be:
"She gave the book to her friend."

We use "to" because it shows who is receiving the book. 

More examples:

  1. He gave the flowers to his mom.
  2. I sent a letter to my teacher.
  3. They handed the keys to the driver.

In each example, the preposition "to" shows who is receiving something. 

I hope that clears it up! Let me know if you need more help!
