Question

    Choose the most suitable option to fill in the

    blanks in the sentences below. The project became so expensive that we had __________.
    A pull through Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B walk through Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C pull in Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D pull out Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E pull apart Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Answer: d is correct. ‘Pull out’ here means to withdraw, disengage or retreat. ‘Pull in’ is unsuitable as it means to keep in check or park at a location. ‘Pull through’ refers to getting through a dangerous or difficult situation, and is unsuitable for use here. ‘Walk through’ means to guide someone through a process and cannot be used in this sentence. ‘Pull apart’ means to separate by force and is out of context in this sentence.
