Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Brushed past means when you quickly walk past someone, usually because you do not want to speak to him/her. This option provides the correct and clear phrasing, indicating that Mike passed by the person without any acknowledgment.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Brushed her: This option changes the meaning slightly and could be interpreted as Mike physically brushing against the person.
- Brushy past: "Brushy" is not the appropriate word in this context.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Mike quickly brushed past her without any sort of salutation."
