Choose the sentence that uses ‘accustomed to’ correctly.

• A. She is accustomed to waking early for work.
• B. She is accustomed with waking early for work.
• C. She is accustomed to wake early for work.
• D. She is accustomed to waking early for work anyway.

Answer: (A)

The pattern being tested is how to use the phrase be accustomed to. After accustomed to, English requires a noun or a verb in the -ing form, because to is a preposition here, not the infinitive marker. That makes the sentence with waking in the -ing form correct and natural. So, She is accustomed to waking early for work. uses waking as a gerund after the preposition to, which is the standard, clear construction for this expression. The other options fail because: - with is not the correct preposition after accustomed; the common collocation is to. - wake is the base form, but after accustomed to you need the -ing form, not the bare infinitive. - though grammatically understandable, adding anyway changes the tone slightly and isn’t the simplest, most direct rendering of the expression. That’s why the first sentence is the best choice.
