Question

In the sentence given below, choose which of the four options (A), (B), (C), or (D), fits into the sentence:

My brother has _________ to life in the hostel as if he had been there for years.

• A. fallen
• B. run
• C. taken
• D. given

Answer 1

The correct option is C taken

Phrasal verbs are phrases, formed with a verb and a preposition or an adverb. The meaning thus formed is different from its literal meaning.
Option C: 'Taken to' means 'to begin to like something/someone'.
It fits the sentence in meaning, that 'my brother has started liking the life in hostel as if he had been there for years.'
Hence option C is correct.
Option A: 'Fallen to' is not a phrasal verb. It has a literal meaning, and does not complete the sentence in meaning. Hence A is incorrect.
Option B: 'Run to' means 'to ask someone for help'. The meaning isn't relevant to the sentence. Hence B is incorrect.
Option D: 'Given to' means 'having the tendency to do something'. For example, 'The president is given to making too many tweets.'
This phrase, too, does not complete the meaning of the sentence. Hence D is incorrect.
