Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I was _________ the post office when it suddenly started to rain.

• A. running down
• B. taking up
• C. get through
• D. making for

Answer 1

The correct option is D making for

Option D is the correct answer because the phrasal verb 'making for' means to move towards a place.

Options A, B and C are incorrect because 'running down' means to criticize someone, especially in an unfair way, 'taking up' means to start doing something regularly as a habit, job, or interest and 'get through' means to manage to deal with a difficult situation or to stay alive until it is over.
