Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:

She ______ a brief appearance at the end of the party.

• A. put down
• B. put in
• C. put across
• D. put up

Answer 1

The correct option is B put in

Phrasal verbs are formed with a verb and another element, like a preposition.

Option B: 'Put in' is a phrasal verb that means 'to interrupt in a conversation or an event'. It is relevant to the given sentence as it's about

a person who interrupted a party towards the end.

Hence this option is correct.

Option A: 'Put down' is a phrasal verb that means 'to record something in writing'.

Option C: 'Put across' means 'to express your opinions or ideas'.

Option D: 'Put up' means 'to stay somewhere temporarily other than your own home'

These meanings are not relevant to the given sentence, hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
