Correct Answer: over
Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.
Explanation:
Over: The correct word is "over" because talking the matter over is commonly used to indicate discussing or resolving an issue or matter through conversation.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
Through: While "talked through" is a valid phrase, it is typically used when discussing or explaining something in detail or thoroughly.
Away: "Talked away" is not a common phrase in English, and it doesn't fit the context of discussing or resolving a matter.
Off: "Talked off" is also not a common phrase and doesn't convey the idea of discussing or resolving a matter.
The complete sentence should be: "When I visited him last evening we talked the matter over. "
