Question

Sheila keeps interrupting Manohar when he is playing with his friends, but he because she is his younger sister.

• A. puts her off
• B. puts up with her
• C. puts along with her
• D. puts her on

Hint:

"Put up with" is used when you tolerate something or someone, often in situations where you might find the behavior annoying but endure it.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: The correct idiom here is "puts up with her," which means to tolerate or endure something, usually with patience. In this case, Manohar tolerates Sheila’s interruptions because she is his younger sister.
Step 2: Let's examine the other options:
"Puts her off" means to discourage or delay someone, which doesn't fit the context of tolerating her interruptions.
"Puts along with her" is not a standard idiomatic expression.
"Puts her on" means to deceive or trick someone, which is unrelated to the situation.
Thus, "puts up with her" is the most appropriate phrase, meaning that Manohar tolerates Sheila’s interruptions.
