Correct Answer: (1)


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".
