Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
After a bitter discussion they went ________ each other.

• A. to
• B. at
• C. off
• D. over

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

at

Option B is the correct answer because the phrasal verb 'went at' somebody means to attack someone or something violently, using either force or very strong language.

Note that the prepositions provided in the options are added to the verb 'went' so as to form different phrasal verbs.

Options A, C and D are incorrect because 'went to' means given to someone or something (eg. The money went to the charity), 'went off' means to explode, to stop liking someone or something or to leave a place and 'went over' means to check something carefully, to repeat a series of things or to travel or move towards someone or something.
