Je voudrais juste préciser que la dernière preposition NE FAIT PAS partie du verbe, même si elle sert à modifier le sens du verbe. Donc tandis que l'on ne puisse jamais dire:
on peut bien (du moins en principe) dire:
With what can she get away?
puisque "with", ne faisant pas partie du verbe "get away", peut s'en séparer.
Bien sûr que la façon anglaise plus facile et naturelle est de mettre la préposition à la fin:
What can she get away with?
C'est tout.
