Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To argue with someone means to have a disagreement or debate with them. In this context, the subject (he) is refusing to have an argument with the irate customer, indicating that he does not want to engage in a conflict with them. The preposition "with" is used to indicate the person or thing someone is having the argument with. Therefore, option A) is the correct choice. Option B) "about" is not appropriate in this context as it suggests that the argument is about a particular topic or issue, which is not mentioned in the sentence. Option C) "for" is not suitable as it does not make sense to argue for someone (or something) in this context.
