Multiple choice

Directions: In this question, two sentences I and II are given. Each sentence has a blank. Five words, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are suggested. Out of these, only one fits both the blanks in the context of each sentence. The number of that word is the answer.

I You don't need to _______here any longer; you will be informed of the results telephonically. II The coach advised the players to _________ together to foil the rival attack.

  1. sit

  2. wait

  3. stick

  4. stand

  5. get
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

'Stick' works in both sentences with phrasal verbs. In sentence I, 'stick around' means to wait or remain. In sentence II, 'stick together' means to cooperate or unite as a team. 'Sit', 'wait', 'stand', and 'get' don't form appropriate phrasal verbs for both contexts.
