Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
To complete the sentence correctly, we need to use the appropriate preposition after 'ashamed'. The phrase 'ashamed of' is a standard collocation in English, used when someone feels shame about a particular action or behavior. For example, 'He was ashamed of his actions.' The other prepositions—'for', 'with', and 'over'—are not used with 'ashamed' in this context. 'Ashamed for' is not a common expression, 'ashamed with' is grammatically incorrect, and 'ashamed over' is not standard usage. Therefore, the correct choice is the one that uses 'of'.
