From the words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes the sentence.
People were cautious about.....the sad news to her
Answer Details
The sentence is asking about being cautious in how to communicate sad news to someone. The correct option to complete the sentence would be "breaking" because it is the present participle form of the verb "to break," which indicates an ongoing action. In this case, it refers to the act of breaking the sad news to the person. The other options are not suitable because they do not convey the ongoing action that the sentence requires. "To break" is the infinitive form of the verb and indicates a potential action, while "having broken" and "broken" are past tense forms of the verb and do not indicate ongoing action.
