The horse shied and broke _________.

A.

down

B.

forth

C.

away

D.

off

Correct option is C


The correct option to fill in the blank is (c) away.
Explanation: The phrasal verb “broke away” means to escape suddenly or run away, especially in panic. The sentence. describes a horse that got frightened ("shied") and ran off, making “away” the only logical choice.
Grammatical rule used:
This is a phrasal verb construction: verb + preposition/adverb = new meaning. “Break away” means “to escape or separate suddenly.”
Explanation in Hindi:

Meanings of the other options:
· (a) Down – Break down means to collapse, often used for machines or emotions.
· Hindi meaning: टूट जाना या खराब हो जाना
· · (b) Forth – Break forth means to burst out, often in speech or emotion, not action.
· Hindi meaning: अचानक प्रकट होना
· · (d) Off – Break off means to stop suddenly or detach.
· Hindi meaning: अचानक रोक देना या अलग करना
