Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
In some parks visitors are requested to keep ________ the grass.

• A. off
• B. aside
• C. out
• D. away

Answer 1

The correct option is A off

Option A is the correct answer because the preposition 'off' is used to make the phrasal verb 'keep off' which in this context means to not go onto a particular area of land.

Note that the prepositions provided in the options are added to the verb 'keep' so as to form different phrasal verbs. Phrasal verbs are basically multi-word verbs.

Options B, C and D are incorrect because the phrasal verbs 'keep aside' means 'keep aside' means to save something for a special occasion, 'keep out' is used on signs to tell people not to go into a place and 'keep away' means to avoid someone or something.
