Correct Answer: shake off


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation: The most appropriate phrasal verb for the blank is "shake off". In this context, "shake off" means "to get rid of" or overcome something, such as an illness or a problem. The sentence implies that Harish needed seven years to overcome or rid himself of the migraine.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: It took seven years for Harish to shake off his migraine.
