Question : Directions: In the following question, a sentence is given with a blank that is to be filled in with an appropriate word. Four alternatives are suggested; choose the correct alternative out of them as your answer.
Her supporters began to _____ and she was left alone.
Option 1: fall over
Option 2: fall away
Option 3: fall off
Option 4: fall on
Correct Answer: fall away
Solution : The second option is the correct choice.
- The phrase fall away means to become detached, which fits perfectly in the sentence.
- Other options, like fall over, mean to lose balance; fall off means to physically drop from a high location; and fall on means something that occurs at a particular time, all of which don't fit contextually.
Therefore, the complete sentence is: "Her supporters began to fall away, and she was left alone."
