Yikes! I don't like any of them!

I do see one grammatical answer, though.

I fear we might once again disagree on what we think the point of an exercise like this is. I don't think it's to choose what is 'correct' in the sense of being grammatical, or even coherent as a stand-alone sentence.

As someone who routinely works with and creates questions like this, it is pretty evident to me which one of those answers the test writer considers to be the answer. The validity of the question itself is a different matter entirely.

Also asked here.

Please do not post the same question simultaneously to more than one forum. Doing so wastes our valuable time. Instead, post your question to one forum and wait for replies. If you're not satisfied with those replies, you can try another forum, but please indicate in your thread that you've already asked the same question elsewhere (provide a link), and outline why you were not satisfied with the answers you received already.
