He did not take up the project because he was fearful to fail.
Options:
A .  feared to fail
B .  fearing of failure

Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)The correct phrase is ‘afraid of’. The ‘afraid of’ has been used in option (b) only. Besides ‘failing’ used in this option is also correct. (Because after a preposition, gerund (v+ing) is used). Hence option (b) is absolutely correct.
