Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: could not show up
Solution : The correct choice is the second option .
"Show up" should replace "show off" to make the sentence grammatically accurate, as "show up" is a more suitable expression than "show off," because the latter typically implies trying to impress others, while the former simply means attending or being present.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The staff member could not show up that day to the office as his ward was ill.
