Question

Fill in the blank by selecting the appropriate phrasal verb from the given options.
Sushmita and Reshma always ___________ the engine of their brother’s motorbike.

A.

make good

B.

monkey around with

C.

pull through

D.

narrow down

Correct option is B


The correct option to fill in the blank is (b) monkey around with.
The phrasal verb “monkey around with” means to tamper with or play with something, especially without a serious purpose.
In the context of this sentence, it means Sushmita and Reshma are always fiddling or experimenting playfully with the engine — making it the most suitable choice.
Grammatical Rule Used:
Phrasal verbs are often idiomatic and must be matched contextually based on meaning rather than direct word-for-word translation.
Meanings of the other options:
· (a) make good
English: to succeed or to compensate for something
Hindi: सफल होना या किसी नुकसान की भरपाई करना
· (c) pull through
English: to recover from an illness or survive a difficult situation
Hindi: कठिनाई से बाहर आना या ठीक हो जाना
· (d) narrow down
English: to reduce a list or group to fewer choices
Hindi: विकल्पों की संख्या सीमित करना
