Question and options
Choose the correct meaning of the phrasal verb 'set out' in this sentence:
All the goods for sale were set out.
All the goods for sale were set out.
- Thrown out
- Displayed
- Cancelled
- Returned

'Set out' goods means arranged or displayed them, so all the goods for sale were displayed. 'Thrown out' confuses it with 'put out' or 'throw out', and nothing in the sentence suggests the goods were cancelled or returned.
