    Question

    Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
    She was brought ________ by her grandmother.

    A.

    out

    B.

    off

    C.

    up

    D.

    in

    Correct option is C

    The correct option to fill in the blank is (c) up.
    Explanation: The phrasal verb bring up means “to raise a child; to look after a child until it becomes an adult” (पालन-पोषण करना). With a passive subject (“was brought…”), up correctly completes the idiom.
    Example: He was brought up by his aunt after his parents moved abroad.
    Why other options are incorrect:
    · out — “bring out” = produce/reveal (उजागर करना); doesn’t fit child-rearing.
    · off — “bring off” = succeed in doing (सफल होना); wrong sense.
    · in — “bring in” = introduce/earn (लाना/कमाना); wrong collocation here.
