Question

Complete the sentence with the most suitable option:

They failed to _________ his tricks.

• A. See through
• B. See on
• C. See at
• D. See for

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

See 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 A: 'See through' is an idiomatic phrase that means 'to detect the true nature of'. It forms a complete and meaningful sentence here. Hence option A is correct.

Options B, C and D:

'See on', 'see at' and 'see for' are not idiomatic phrases. They have literal meanings that do not form complete meaningful sentences.

Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
