Select the most appropriate option to improve the bold part of the sentence.

He denied to help me.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

In English grammar, the verb "deny" is typically followed by a gerund (the "-ing" form of a verb) rather than an infinitive ("to" + verb).

Therefore, the sentence should be: "He denied helping me."

Meaning: This indicates that the person stated they did not perform the action of helping.
