Question

156. How dare you accuse me ______? A. that I cheat B. of cheating C. cheating D. to cheat

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. of cheating.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is B. of cheating. Here's why:

1. The verb 'accuse' requires a preposition to connect it with the noun or pronoun that follows. In this case, 'accuse' is followed by the pronoun 'me' and the preposition 'of'.
2. 'Of cheating' is a gerund phrase that acts as the object of the verb 'accuse'. Gerunds are verb forms that act as nouns, and 'cheating' is the gerund form of the verb 'cheat'.
3. The phrase 'of cheating' correctly shows that the accusation is related to the action of cheating. It is grammatically correct and idiomatic in English.
