It is better to ask someone for advice rather than ___something. A. risk doing B risk to do C to risk doing D. to risk to do

The sentence requires parallel structure with "rather than" and correct verb form after "risk." The first action is "to ask someone," an infinitive phrase, so the second action should maintain parallelism with another infinitive. Additionally, "risk" must be followed by a gerund ("doing"), not an infinitive ("to do").

Answer: C. to risk doing

This maintains parallelism ("to ask... rather than to risk...") and uses the correct gerund form after "risk," resulting in the grammatically complete sentence: "It is better to ask someone for advice rather than to risk doing something."
