Correct Answer: to argue with him


Solution : The correct answer is the first option .

Explanation: The correct option to argue with him substitutes the underlined segment properly by indicating Sheela's attempt or intention to argue with him. When an infinitive form of a verb comes after "tried to," it indicates an attempt to do something.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: Sheela tried to argue with him though she knew that it was of no use.
