Hello!
In the sentence: 'I was furious.............her...........her behaviour.'
a)on /about b)with /about c) with/ on d) about/ for e) with/ at
Which may be the correct option? I think it's b)with /about. -Am I right?
Thank you for your time!

Correct.

[edited] Sorry, I overlooked (e), which is also possible.

How about ''I was furious with her for her behaviour.''?

Do you mean this is also possible? -- ''I was furious with her at her behaviour.''
(I would think this would be OK: ''I was furious at her behaviour.'')

Thanks!

For me this is acceptable, yes.

Thanks Dozy, I see now that if I read it with ''the right'' intonation that sentence actually sounds a little less odd. :)
