Choose the correct Phrasal Verb from the options given below :

The Police would not _________ to the kidnapper's demand.

give in

The correct answer is Option 1: give in

Option 1 : “give in”- “Give in” means to surrender, yield, or agree unwillingly to someone’s demands. In the sentence, it means that the police would not surrender to the kidnapper’s demands, so this phrasal verb fits correctly.

Option 2 : “give up”- “Give up” means to stop trying or to quit. It does not appropriately fit with “to the kidnapper’s demand.”

Option 3 : “take up”- “Take up” means to begin a hobby, activity, or responsibility. It is not suitable in this context.

Option 4 : “take in” - “Take in” can mean to understand, absorb, or deceive someone. It does not fit the meaning required in the sentence.
