Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option one i.e. of losing.
- The underlined segment in the given sentence 'of loosing' should be replaced by 'of losing'.
- The word "losing" is the correct spelling for the verb that means to fail to keep or maintain something.
- In contrast, "loosing" means to release or set something free, which does not fit the context of being afraid of not having something.
- Hence, the correct answer would be of losing.
