[II.] Intrigue on
[III.] Endow with
[IV.] Trample on \bigskip

• A. I and IV
• B. I and III
• C. I, III and IV
• D. None of the above
  \bigskip

Hint:

Some phrasal combinations may appear correct but are not idiomatic or standard in formal usage—always verify with examples.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Let us examine each option for proper phrasal usage:
[I.] Indict to — Incorrect; the correct form is “indict \textit{for} a crime”.
[II.] Intrigue on — Incorrect; standard forms include “intrigue \textit{by}” or “intrigue \textit{with}”, but not “on”.
[III.] Endow with — Although this is commonly correct, its match with subject and object is essential and nuanced.
[IV.] Trample on — This is grammatically correct but contextually more often “trample upon” is preferred. Given the confusion in context, none of these are unequivocally valid in phrasing across usage, thus: \[ \boxed{\text{(D) None of the above}} \] \bigskip
