Most Americans don't object ____them by their first names.
A.) that I call
B.) to my calling
C.) that I am call
D.) for calling
I thought A.) was also possible.
For example, I found in my dictionary:
"the boy's father objected that the police had arrested him unlawfully."
Do you also think that A.) is wrong?
Thank you~
B sounds correct because object as a verb is followed by "to". For example: Gardaí objected to free legal aid being assigned to Gary O'Flynn and cross-examined him yesterday on property ownership.

B would sound the best of the four, but the way I'd write that sentence is, "Most Americans don't object to being called by their first names."
