Question and options
Directions: Fill in the blank with the appropriate word.
Sundar held __________ to the books passionately.
- on
- in
- off
- away
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - on
"Hold on to" means to keep a firm grip on something or refuse to give it up, so Sundar "held on to the books passionately". "Held off" means kept at a distance, and "held in" and "held away" do not fit with "to the books".
