be afraid of sth则表示对某事感到恐惧,即强调状态,此处就是害怕“掉进河里”这件事.

A

A.(老人不敢过桥,是因为害怕掉到河里去。)
be afraid to do.和 afraid of doing 都表示“害怕”“不敢”,但是当谈论我们自己也无法左右的突发事件时,要用doing形式
(会不会掉到河里是老人自己也无法确定的,所以后面用doing结构)

前面一空是 be afraid to....
后面一空是 be afraid of ......
选A

afraid一般有两种搭配,一种是接不定式to,另一种是接of+名词(或动词ing形式)

我常常不愿意到街上去。(对于普通人来说,上街并不可怕,...

如I'm often afraid to go out on the streets.
我常常不愿意到街上去。(对于普通人来说,上街并不可怕,但对“我”来说,却可能潜藏着某些危险——比如明星被人围观)
+of:
这时afraid的意思是害怕某事物。
she was afraid of antagonizing him(dogs).
她怕与他对抗(她害怕狗)。
这个题里的cross the bridge本身并不可怕,但对于一个老人来说,则可能存在危险,所以老人不愿意过桥,这时使用to cross。
fall into the river就是实实在在的危险了,所以应该使用of。
