Answer 1

All the blanks given below were to be filled with the right phrasal verbs. The hints provided were half part of the phrasal verbs. However, the other half part was given in each sentence. Phrasal verbs are usually made up of combination of a verb and an adverb, or a preposition, or sometimes both. They are very tricky because they appear to be simple, but their literal meaning is quite different from the apparent meaning.
