Question

4.
The child broke.............from his mother and can towards the painting.”
A. away
B. after
C. down
D. with​

Answer 1

Answer:

A. away

Explanation:

I'm going to assume the child ran towards the painting or did something similar. Therefore, he must have been holding his mother or similar that he wanted to move away from her to reach his destination. So he broke "away".

Another way to get this answer is to simply cancel out any other options.

1. "after" rarely follows "break" in any form of verb or structure.

2. "down" combined with "broke down" means a person mentally or physically failing to continue their current task and usually means crying out loud after holding the emotions for so long. So this cannot be the answer.

3. "with" is a word of complementary. It usually depicts the object used to do a certain task, accompanying most actions. E.g "breaking your fast with your mother". However, we can know that the mother and the child are probably somewhere outside and not having any meals. Therefore, this option is too cancelled.

Leaving A. away as the best answer.

Answer 2

C. Down , because before the blank space the word broke it represents past ,when the boy ran towards the mother
