Jim () for being late last night.

• A. Apologized
• B. Fill Up
• C. Pillow
• D. Worry

Answer: (A)

This tests choosing a verb that fits with the preposition to express regret about a past action. Jim apologized for being late last night. The verb apologized correctly pairs with for to introduce the reason you’re saying sorry, with being late last night as the thing apologized for. The other options don’t fit the sentence: fill up isn’t about apologizing, pillow is a noun not a verb here, and worry wouldn’t use for and would change the meaning to expressing concern rather than saying sorry.
