Correct Answer: Be useful


Solution : The first option is the correct answer.

Come in handy is an informal expression that indicates something is useful or convenient in a particular situation. In this context, the speaker bought extra copies with the expectation that they might be useful or helpful during exams. So, be useful is the correct phrase, as it serves a purpose or is convenient in a specific situation.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • To cause trouble means to create problems or difficulties.
  • To be sold means to be purchased by someone.
  • To bring luck means to bring good fortune or success.
