Sia is always afraid of loosing her favourite doll.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. of losing.
The underlined part is grammatically incorrect.
The adjective “afraid” takes the preposition “of” after it, followed by the object of the preposition.
Thus, “of losing’ is the correct replacement.
The correct sentence will be: Sia is always afraid of losing her favourite doll.
