Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
It was a very difficult problem - one which no one could see a way of _________.

• A. getting through
• B. getting out
• C. getting over
• D. getting round

Answer 1

The correct option is D getting round

Option D is the correct answer because the phrasal verb 'getting round' means to overcome or find a solution.

Options A, B and C are incorrect because the phrasal verbs 'getting through' means to pass or assist someone in passing (a difficult or testing experience or period), 'getting out' means leaving and 'getting over' means finding a way to solve or deal with a difficult problem.
