Question

Complete the sentence with the most suitable option:

He was able to __________ all the troubles.

• A. Pull at
• B. Pull in
• C. Pull through
• D. Pull off

Answer 1

The correct option is C Pull through

Phrasal verbs are idiomatic phrases or expressions that have meanings different from the literal meanings. They are formed with a verb and a preposition (or another element).

Option C: 'Pull through' is an idiomatic expression that means 'to get through a difficult situation'.

It forms a complete and meaningful sentence here. Hence option C is correct.

Option A: 'Pull at' means 'to pull something quickly or repeatedly'.

Option B: 'Pull in' means 'to arrive or stop there'.

Option D: 'Pull off' means 'to succeed in doing something difficult', 'to pull off a great dress'.

These expressions do not provide the appropriate meaning to the given sentence.

Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
