Anonymous  +  197015 Wed, 15 Feb 06 10:52 AM Hi Teachers, Filling in a test I came across the sentence below whose solution I don’t understand. I was afraid ... into the house because I was afraid … bitten by the dog. A.)    to go, of being B.)    of going, to be I chose "B" but the correct answer would have been "A". I can’t see the difference between them. Can you explain why "A" is better then "B" for this sentence? Thank you Anonymous Difference Between
