Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

I'd rather not _____ late for my interview.

• A. be
• B. to be
• C. been
• D. being

Answer 1

The correct option is A be

A verb is used to express an occurrence, action, or state. It is the grammatical center of the predicate in a sentence.

An auxiliary verb is a verb which is used in the formation of tenses, moods, tones, etc.

Option A is correct as I'd rather indicates the use of be in its ordinary form.

The other options are wrong as no other tense can be used here.

The correct answer is A) be
