Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: The phrase 'guilty for' is incorrect; it should be 'guilty of'.
Rule: Use 'guilty of' followed by a noun or gerund to indicate responsibility for an offence or wrongdoing.
The judges found him — grammatically correct subject–verb–object construction.
guilty for — incorrect preposition; should be 'guilty of'.
driving wrongly — not grammatically incorrect. 'Driving' is a gerund and 'wrongly' is an adverb modifying it; a more natural phrasing might be 'driving incorrectly', but this is not the sentence's grammatical error.
No error — incorrect choice because the sentence does contain the preposition error noted above.
