The macabre nature of Macbeth, together with the widespread belief that real-life tragedies have accompanied many productions, has made the name of the play so dreaded that not even the least superstitious members of most casts dare utter it.

A. has made the name of the play so dreaded that not even the least superstitious members of most casts dare
B. have made the name of the play so dreaded, even the least superstitious members of most casts will not dare to
C. have made the play’s name sufficiently dreaded, so that even the less superstitious members of most casts will not dare to
D. have made the name of the play sufficiently dreaded, so that not even the least superstitious members of most casts dare
E. has made the name of the play is dreaded, so that even the least superstitious members of most casts dare not


isn't it right to say 'dare to do'...?

Hi jokschmer ,

It is okay to use "dare" followed by a verb.

Both the below forms are correct usage of dare:

He wouldn't dare look up while she was watching him.

I dare to hope that she will respect me."

Two things are tested here:
1. A, together with B - takes a singular verb - this rules out B, C and D
2. 'so X that Y' is the correct idiomatic usage
Hence, A

Option A is correct
Options B,C and D are out because of S-V agreement error.
In E, 'is dreaded' is wrong.

Press kudos if it helps :-)
