Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
His parents died when he was a baby and he was _________ by his aunt.

• A. brought out
• B. brought up
• C. grown
• D. grown up
• E. taken out

Answer 1

The correct option is B brought up

The phrasal verb 'brought up' means to rear a child, develop good manners in him and also work on his behaviour. So, in this context the aunt brings up a baby after the death of the baby's parents. Thus, Option B is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the correct answer.
