Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct answer: None — the sentence requires the preposition 'of' (guilty of the robbery).
Explanation: The adjective 'guilty' is followed by 'of' to indicate the offence committed. Therefore the correct phrase is 'guilty of the robbery.'
'about' — incorrect because 'guilty about' is not the standard collocation for naming an offence.
'for' — incorrect here; 'for' can show purpose but is not used after 'guilty' to state the crime.
'to' — incorrect and ungrammatical in this construction.
'None' — correct because the required preposition 'of' is not provided among the answer choices.
Tip: Remember common collocations with 'of' for crimes and accusations, e.g., 'guilty of,' 'accused of,' 'convicted of.'
