Health officials estimate that 35 million Africans are in danger of contracting trypanosomiasis, or “African sleeping sickness,” a parasitic disease spread by the bites of tsetse flies.

(A) are in danger of contracting
(B) are in danger to contract
(C) have a danger of contracting
(D) are endangered by contraction
(E) have a danger that they will contract


A Correct. In this sentence, the correct idiom is used in the expression are in danger of contracting.
B Are in danger must be followed by of, not the infinitive
C Have a danger is not the correct idiom
D This wordy passive voice construction cannot be followed by trypanosomiasis
E Have a danger is not the correct idiom; the structure is wordy and ungrammatical

The correct answer is A.
