Correct option is B
The correct substitution for the highlighted segment in the sentence "The porter denied to take the money" is (b) "denied taking."
This substitution corrects the sentence by ensuring that the verb "deny" is followed by the appropriate gerund form, making the sentence grammatically accurate.
- Explanation: The verb "deny" should be followed by a gerund (the "-ing" form of a verb) when describing an action. Therefore, "denied taking" is the correct form to use here. The original phrase "denied to take" is incorrect because "deny" is not typically followed by an infinitive ("to take").
- Corrected Sentence: "The porter denied taking the money."
