Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Stop talking and ____ with your work.

• A. get on
• B. get away
• C. get after
• D. get back

Answer 1

The correct option is A get on

The sentence indicates that the subject is being instructed to stop talking and continue doing his/her work. Thus, the answer must mean 'continue doing'.

Option A is correct. 'get on', in this context, means 'to continue doing something'. Thus, it has the required meaning and is the correct answer.

Option B is incorrect. 'get away' means 'escape' and not 'continue doing'. Thus, it does not have the required meaning and is not the correct answer.

Option C is incorrect.'get after' means 'to chase or pursue' and not 'continue doing'. Thus, it does not have the required meaning and is not the correct answer.

Option D is incorrect.'get back' means 'to take revenge' and not 'continue doing'. Thus, it does not have the required meaning and is not the correct answer.
