(1) give up
(2) gave away
(3) gave back
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The correct answer is the second option.
"Gave up" means to quit or surrender something. "Give up" means the same, but in the present tense. "Gave back" suggests returning something to its previous owner. Finally, "gave away" means to give as a prize or gift.
Therefore, the correct statement should be "The District Collector gave away the prizes to the winners at the end of the function".
