Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
"Be used to" means "be familiar with", and its "to" is a preposition, so it takes an -ing form: "I am used to getting up early."
Worth noting
"I used to get up early", without "am", would also be correct but means a past habit. "I used to getting" mixes the two.
