    Question

    Kevin must help / his sister brush off / her French before / she leaves for Paris.

    A.

    she leaves for Paris

    B.

    Kevin must help

    C.

    her French before

    D.

    his sister brush off

    Correct option is D


    The incorrect segment is (d) his sister brush off.
    · The phrase "brush off" is incorrect in this context. The correct phrase should be "brush up" because:
    · "Brush up on" means to improve or refresh one's knowledge or skill in a subject.
    · "Brush off" means to dismiss or ignore something, which does not fit the meaning of the sentence.
    Correct Sentence: "Kevin must help his sister brush up on her French before she leaves for Paris."
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · "Brush up on" is a phrasal verb that means to improve or refresh one’s knowledge in a subject.
