Correct Answer: took off
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Explanation: "Took off" means to remove or strip off clothing or other items. In the context of the sentence, it accurately conveys the action of the swimmer removing his clothes before entering the river.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
Took of: This option is not correct. "Took of" is not a valid phrase in English, and it doesn't convey the intended meaning of removing clothes.
Took out: It typically means to remove something from a container or place, but it doesn't fit the context of removing clothing.
Took down: It generally means to dismantle or remove something from a higher position, such as taking down a picture from a wall. It does not convey the idea of removing clothing.
So, the sentence would be: "The swimmer took off his clothes and jumped into the river."
