Question

Complete the sentence with the most suitable option:

The twins __________ each other.

• A. Take after
• B. Take away
• C. Take through
• D. Make after

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The correct option is B Take after
Phrasal verbs are idiomatic phrases or expressions that have meanings different from the literal meanings. They are formed with a verb and a preposition (or another element).

Option B: 'Take after' is an idiomatic expression that means 'resembles (a parent or relative)'

It forms a complete and meaningful sentence here. Hence option B is correct.

Options A, C and D:

'Take (somebody) through' means 'to explain something to someone'.

'Take away' means 'to remove a person' or 'remove the pain away from someone'.

'Make after' means 'to pursue someone'.

These expressions do not provide the appropriate meaning to the given sentence.

Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
