The prosecution failed in establish its case today.

  • A.on
  • B.to
  • C.upon
  • D.as

Answer: B

Correct answer: to

Fail is followed by a to-infinitive, not by in plus a bare verb: the prosecution failed to establish its case today.

The preposition in can follow fail only when a noun or gerund comes next - he failed in his attempt, she failed in establishing her claim. With the plain verb establish, only to is possible.
