We can't bear __________ late. We believe that time is precious.
We can't bear __________ late. We believe that time is precious.
- been
- be
- to
- being
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - being
"Can't bear" is followed by a gerund (or by "to" plus an infinitive), so "We can't bear being late" is correct. "To" alone would leave "to late", and "be" or "been" cannot follow "bear" directly.
