    Correct Answer
    A. I am thinking about going to university.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I am thinking about going to university." This sentence is grammatically correct because it follows the subject-verb agreement and uses the correct tense. The verb "am thinking" agrees with the subject "I" and the use of the present continuous tense indicates an ongoing action. The phrase "about going to university" is also grammatically correct as it functions as the object of the verb "thinking." Overall, this sentence is structurally sound and conveys a clear meaning.

This is used to indicate that the subject, in this case, "my brother," has a dislike or aversion towards meeting new people.
