Solution : The correct option is the first option .
T o get on means to start or continue working on the task at hand, which is what the sentence intends to convey.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- To get by means to manage with difficulty to live or accomplish something.
- To get under means to position oneself below something; both don't fit contextually in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "The boss impatiently told him to get on with his work".
