Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable phrase:
Anne was upset because she didn't _________ in the race. She really wanted to win.

• A. come last
• B. go up
• C. come first
• D. turn out

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

come first

Answer : C

Let's look at what the phrases in the sentence mean:

• come last : to be at the end
• go up : be built / suddenly burst into flames
• come first : to be the first one
• turn out : the way something happens

Having a look at the question we understand that Anne is upset because she wanted to win but she did not, which implies that she was not to first one among the contestants to finish the race.

Therefore, the appropriate phrase for use here is "come first".

Thus correct complete sentence is:

Anne was upset because she didn't COME FIRST in the race.
