Fill in the blank choosing the appropriate word in the context of the sentence.
Let's hope that old air conditioner ______ through this heat wave.

A.

keeps in

B.

keeps from

C.

keeps for

D.

keeps up

Correct option is D


The correct phrasal verb to complete the sentence is (d) Keeps up.
• The phrase "keeps up" means to continue to function or perform well, especially under pressure or during a challenging time. Here, the sentence refers to an air conditioner being able to handle the extreme heat.
Grammatical rule used: This is a case of phrasal verb usage, where the verb + preposition/adverb changes the meaning. “Keep up” implies enduring or maintaining performance.
Explanation of the grammatical rule in Hindi: जब कोई क्रिया (verb) एक preposition या adverb के साथ मिलकर नया अर्थ देती है, उसे phrasal verb कहते हैं। “Keep up” का अर्थ है – किसी कार्य को बनाए रखना या सहन कर पाना।
Example: I hope my car keeps up during the long road trip.
Meanings of other options:
Keeps in: To restrain or hold inside.
Hindi meaning: भीतर रखना या रोकना
Keeps from: To prevent or avoid doing something.
Hindi meaning: रोकना या बचाना
Keeps for: To save or reserve something for someone.
Hindi meaning: किसी के लिए सुरक्षित रखना
