Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence.
It is wrong to make accusations without will have any proof.
- Awithout has any proof
- Bwithout being have any proof
- Cwithout to be have any proof
- Dwithout having any proof
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The underlined part needs improvement because the word "without" is a preposition, and prepositions are typically followed by a noun or a gerund (verb + -ing).
The gerund form of the verb "have" is "having". Therefore, "without having any proof" is grammatically correct and meaningful. Other options use incorrect structural combinations.
