Correct Answer: passed over


Solution : The first option is the correct choice.

  • Passed over means to get overlooked for something, which fits perfectly in the sentence.
  • Other options, like passed off, mean to represent something deceptive; passed by means to go past something or someone; and passed out means to faint, all of which don't fit contextually.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "The assistant manager decided to resign when she was passed over for promotion to deputy manager."
