Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I've been afraid of dogs ever since a large canine _________ me when I was a child.

• A. went for
• B. went after
• C. went to
• D. went over

Answer 1

The correct option is A went for

Option A is the correct answer because the phrasal verb 'went for' someone means to attack someone physically. Hence option A is the phrasal verb that makes logical sense in the given sentence.

Options B, C and D are incorrect because 'went after' someone means to try to catch or stop someone, 'went to' means to be given to someone or something (eg. The money went to charity) and 'went over' means to check something carefully or to repeat something.
