单选题 1. The police accused him ______ setting fire to the building but he firmly denied ______ in the area on the night of the fire.

A、 from; being
B、 in; being
C、 of; having been
D、 on; to be
E、 on; to have been

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】 警方指控他放火烧毁该建筑物，但他坚决否认在火灾当晚曾在该地区。
本题考查固定短语。accuse sb. of doing sth. 意为“控告某人做了某事”。“否认做……”，翻译为deny doing sth. 。“在该地区”的动作发生在“否认”之前，用deny having done sth. 。根据语法和句意，故选C。
