Question

Fill in the blank with the correct alternative. After a long heated argument, she has given ____ the matter.

• A. in
• B. for
• C. to
• D. up

Hint:

Be cautious with phrasal verbs like "give up," which means to abandon or stop. "Give in" or "give to" may have different meanings and are not suitable in this case.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The correct phrase is "given up the matter," which means she has decided to stop arguing or has conceded. "Give up" is a phrasal verb used to mean to stop trying or abandon an issue. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence.
