Question

Choose the correct meaning of the given phrase.

"Cast away"

• A. Reject
• B. Throw away
• C. Discord
• D. Calculate
• E. Entrust

Answer 1

The correct option is B Throw away

“Cast” means to throw (something) forcefully in a specified direction.

Hence to cast away means to throw away. Hence option B is the correct answer.

“Reject” means to not approve of something, not the same meaning as throw, hence Option A is incorrect.

“Discord’ means you disagree.

“Calculate” means to determine mathematically.

“Entrust” means to assign a task to someone.
