Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
In the original sentence, "He was charged with theft", to be "charged" means to be formally accused of a crime or offense.
While the word "charged" has multiple meanings (like "energized" for a battery or "ordered/billed" for a payment), in this specific sentence, it refers to a criminal allegation.
