Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The correct phrasal verb to use in this context is "switch off , " which means to stop the operation of a device.

"Switch out" is a phrasal verb that typically means to replace or exchange something with another.

"Switch in" and "switch out" do not convey the intended meanings in this context.

So, the correct sentence should be: "Please switch off the fan."
