Attempted by 39 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation:
The correct phrase is in addition to, which means 'as well as' or 'besides'. It is used to add something to another item.
Complete sentence: Do I have to pay tax in addition to this charge?
'in addition to' is correct because it links the tax to the charge and expresses 'as well as'.
'in addition with' is not idiomatic; the correct prepositional collocation is 'in addition to'.
'onto' indicates physical movement onto a surface and does not convey the meaning 'besides' needed here.
'counting' is a verb/gerund and would require rephrasing to work; it does not function as the required prepositional phrase in this sentence.
