Correct Answer: with


Solution : The correct choice to fill in the blank is the first option.

"Remonstration" means to forcefully argue about how something is done. "With" is used to associate it with a noun, which is the referee in this sentence. This makes the sentence grammatically accurate and conveys the intended meaning that as he remonstrated more, the situation became worse.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: The more he remonstrated with the referee, the worse the situation became.
