Question 1 Report

From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences.
She asked the driver to..................at the school gate.
Answer Details
The correct option to complete the sentence is "drop her," option A. When we use the phrasal verb "drop off," it means to let someone or something be at a particular place, usually by stopping a vehicle. In this sentence, the woman is asking the driver to drop her off at the school gate, which means she wants to be let out of the car at the school gate. Option B, "drop her down," doesn't make sense in this context because we don't use "drop down" after "drop" when talking about someone getting out of a car. Option C, "drop her out," doesn't make sense because it means to withdraw from something or to stop attending something. Option D, "drop her in," doesn't make sense in this context because it would mean the woman wants the driver to let her into the school, which is not what the sentence is asking for.
