There is no point ______ to persude him to do anything. A. to trying B. in trying C. of trying D. to try
Let’s analyze the sentence:
“There is no point ______ to persuade him to do anything.”
This is a fixed expression: “There is no point in doing something.”
That means the correct preposition after “point” in this context is in, followed by the gerund (trying).
So: There is no point in trying to persuade him…
That matches B. in trying.
The other options:
A. to trying → incorrect because “to” is not the right preposition here.
C. of trying → sometimes used in informal speech but not the standard construction after “There is no point”.
D. to try → would require a different structure, e.g. “It’s no use to try” or “It’s pointless to try”, but not “There is no point to try”.
Answer: B
