Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
It took him a long time to come _________ our way of thinking.

• A. across
• B. round to
• C. down to
• D. in at

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

round to

Option B is the correct answer because the preposition 'round to' is added to the verb 'come' to form the phrasal verb 'come round to' which means to change your opinion or decision because someone has persuaded you to agree with them.

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

Options A, C and D are incorrect because 'come across' means to meet someone, or to find something by chance, 'come down to' to be the most important aspect of a situation or problem and 'come in at' means to cost a particular amount.
