| (A) She is financially very smart and has got a few thousand rupees put away for her retirement. | (II) put away | To put away money is to save it for later use. A smart saver keeps money aside for retirement. |
| (B) He is clever, but his gruff exterior makes most people get put off by it. | (IV) put off | To be put off by something is to be discouraged or made to dislike it. A gruff (rough, unfriendly) manner keeps people away. |
