Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I must get a new pair of boots. I've __________ my old ones.

• A. worn off
• B. worn down
• C. worn out
• D. worn away

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

worn out

Option C is the correct answer because 'worn out' means too old or damaged to use any longer.

Options A, B and D are incorrect because 'worn off' means to gradually disappear, 'worn down' to make someone gradually lose their energy or confidence and 'worn away' means to make something disappear or stop existing.
