Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Rosemary __________ a beautiful necktie for her husband's birthday.

• A. picked over
• B. picked on
• C. picked out
• D. picked off

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

picked out

Option C is the correct answer because the phrasal verb 'pick out' means chosen from a group.

Options A, B and D are incorrect because the phrasal verbs 'picked over' means to examine a collection of things carefully so that you can decide which ones you want, 'picked on' means to keep treating someone badly or unfairly, especially by criticizing them and 'picked off' means to shoot people, animals, or aircraft one by one by aiming at them carefully from a distance.
