Question


Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
Do not later about the street.

A.

latter about

B.

loiter around

C.

litter about

D.

litre about

Correct option is B


Explanation:
The sentence is advising someone not to waste time hanging around or wandering aimlessly, which is best captured by the verb “loiter around.”
Correct phrasal verb:
· Loiter around – to move or stand about without purpose; often in a public space
Analysis of options:
· (a) latter about – “Latter” refers to the second of two items. Not a verb.
· (b) loiter around – Correct. Expresses wandering idly.
· (c) litter about – means to throw waste; wrong meaning.
· (d) litre about – Nonsense phrase; “litre” is a unit of volume.
Correct sentence:
Do not loiter around the street.
