Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Birthdays seem to ________ much quicker nowadays than when I was a child.

• A. come up
• B. come over
• C. come out
• D. come round

Answer 1

The correct option is D come round

Option D is the correct answer because the phrasal verb 'come round' means (of a date or regular occurrence) recur; be imminent again.

Options A, B and C are incorrect because the phrasal verbs 'come up' means to move towards someone, usually, because you want to talk to them, 'come over' means (of a feeling or manner) begin to affect (someone) and 'come out' means to become known.
