Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The third option is the correct answer.

"Turn over" refers to a change in one's position, while "turn down" means to reject an offer. Here, "turn down" is the phrasal verb to be used.

Hence, the correct sentence should be: "The Government offered him an electrical job but he turned it down ."
