Question : Directions: Improve the bracketed part of each sentence.
Reena cannot (put forth) with that nasty fellow.
(1) put in
(2) put out
(3) put up
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
The phrasal verb put forth , which means to present an idea or a proposal, should be replaced with " put up" which means to tolerate. Put up conveys the appropriate intended meaning of the sentence: that Reena cannot tolerate her nasty fellow.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Reena cannot put up with that nasty fellow."
