They dissuaded me of visiting the War Memorial but I really wanted to see it.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. from visiting.
The word ‘dissuade’ which means persuade (someone) not to take a particular course of action is always followed by the preposition ‘from’.
Eg: The point of publishing all the scary stats is not to dissuade people from being professional musicians.
So, ‘of visiting’ must be replaced with ‘from visiting’.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
