Question and options
A list of four words is given, followed by some choices. Choose the alternative that you can combine with every word in the list to form a familiar word or phrase.
Away, through, up, down
- stray
- sit
- break
- speak
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - break
Break away, break through, break up and break down are all common phrasal verbs. 'Sit away', 'stray through/up' and 'speak away/through' are not familiar phrases, so only 'break' combines with all four.
