Find out the correct sentence.

AI think him as a silly boy

BI think him as to be a silly boy

CI think to be him as a silly boy

DI think him a silly boy

Answer:

D. I think him a silly boy

Read Explanation:

  • In English, the verb "think" can be followed by a direct object and a complement, without the need for any prepositions.
  • Direct object: "him" - This is the person about whom the speaker is thinking.
  • Complement: "a silly boy" - This describes the direct object "him" and completes the meaning of the sentence.

Let's analyze the other options:

  • "I think him as a silly boy" - Incorrect. The phrase "think him as" is incorrect. It should be "think of him as" or "think him a silly boy." 
  • "I think him as to be a silly boy" - Incorrect. Similar to option A, the phrase "think him as to be" is awkward and not grammatically correct.
  • "I think to be him as a silly boy" - Incorrect. The word order is incorrect, and "to be him" is not idiomatic in this context.
