Question 1 Report

From the words lettered A to E, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.
Some people find it difficult to hold .........a job for a long while
Answer Details
The phrase "hold off" means to delay or postpone something, so it does not fit the context of the sentence. "Hold down" means to keep something under control, but in this case, the sentence talks about holding a job, not controlling it. "Hold out" means to resist or endure something, but this does not fit the sentence's context either. "Hold up" means to support or maintain something, but it does not fit the sentence's context. Therefore, the correct answer is "hold down," as it means to keep a job for a long time.
