What preposition should be used with the verb "refuse"?
- I won't take it, - he refused of/from it.
|
But one can 'deny' the fact of something.
|
Is "deny" needed an object or not?
'We have no ...', they denied.
|
Is "deny" needed an object or not?

I have found this topic https://forum.thefreedictionary.com/postst199840_verbs.aspx
Then, is "deny" needed an object or not?
'We have no ...', they denied.
'We have no ...', they denied it.

It seems to me that I asked this question and got answers, but I cannot find this topic. I'll have to ask again, then. Are "refuse", "object" and 'deny' not needed objects?
'I will not take it', he refused.
'Who has it but you?' he objected.
'We have no ...', they denied.

2/ He had muscles as strong as his brother. She has a face as beautiful as her mother.

2/ He had as strong muscles as his brother had. She has as beautiful face as her mother had.
3/ He had as strong muscles as his brother. She has as beautiful face as her mother.
4/ He had as strong muscles as his brother did. She has as beautiful face as her mother did.

Thank you, Audiendus. Then it will be good to use "circle-shaped" so as not be ambiguous in my description.
