Question : Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select 'No improvement required'.
He felt dejected but the feeling passed out in a minute.
Option 1: No improvement required
Option 2: passed off
Option 3: passed on
Option 4: passed back
Correct Answer: passed off
Solution : The second option is the correct answer.
The correct phrase to use in this context is passed off rather than passed out. When an emotion or feeling subsides or disappears, we use the phrasal verb passed off.
In contrast, passed out typically refers to losing consciousness or fainting, which doesn't fit the intended meaning in this sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be, "He felt dejected, but the feeling passed off in a minute".
