How

Question:
DIRECTIONS: Sentences given with blanks are to be filled in with (an) appropriate word(s). Four alternatives are suggested for each question. Choose the correct alternative out of the four.

He could not _______ his habitual irregularity at work and was ultimately suspended.  

Options:
A) get off
B) get away with
C) get away from
D) give away
Solution:
Ans: (b) 'Get away with' should come in place of the blank as it means 'to do something and not get punished for it'. The statement means that 'he' could not avoid getting punished for his inconsistencies and was eventually punished in the form of suspension.  

Meaning of other words –

  • Get off  – To start, as on a trip ; leave
  • Get away from – To leave or go away
  • Give away – To offer or provide at no cost to the recipient
