Correct Answer: among lying


Solution : The error lies in the first option.

The preposition among is not suitable in this context. The correct preposition to use here is with. The phrase get away with is an idiomatic expression, and in this context, with is the correct preposition to convey the idea of avoiding punishment or detection for lying and cheating.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: He thinks that he can get away with lying and cheating.
