Question : Directions: In the following question, a sentence is given with a blank that is to be filled in with appropriate words. Four alternatives are suggested; choose the correct alternative out of them as your answer.
His teacher ____ an explanation of his conduct.
Option 1: Called up
Option 2: Called for
Option 3: Called off
Option 4: Called on
Correct Answer: Called for
Solution : The second option is the correct answer since ''called for'', which means to demand or request something, fits perfectly in the sentence. It conveys that the teacher is demanding an explanation for the student's conduct.
The option ''called up'' means to make a phone call to someone; ' 'called off'' means to terminate something that had been planned; and ''called on'' means to ask someone to speak or participate, all of which don't fit contextually with the intended meaning of the sentence.
So, the complete sentence is "His teacher called for an explanation of his conduct".
