Fill in the blank with the most appropriate phrase.
They ______ the table beautifully for their guests.

Correct option is B

The correct option to fill in the blank is (b) laid out.
Explanation: The phrasal verb “lay out” means “to arrange or prepare something neatly for display or use.” (Hindi meaning – सजाना, व्यवस्थित रूप से रखना).
Thus, “laid out the table” means they decorated or arranged the table beautifully for guests.
Example: She laid out the dishes and cutlery for the dinner party.
Why other options are incorrect:
· (a) Laid in – To store something for future use (संग्रह करना).
· (c) Laid by – To save something for later (बचाकर रखना).
· (d) Laid on – To provide something (जुटाना, आयोजित करना).
Hence, “laid out” fits both grammatically and contextually.
