Select the most appropriate phrasal verb for the following sentence:
I don't have the patience to _______ on that project.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) - follow through
The phrasal verb "follow through" means to complete a task or action fully, continuing it to its conclusion. In this context, the speaker lacks the patience to complete or see the project through to the end.
OTHER OPTIONS
- "follow by": This is not a commonly used phrasal verb and does not fit the context of the sentence.
- "fall through": This means for something (like a plan or agreement) to fail or not happen, which does not align with the idea of patience for a project.
- "figure out": This means to understand or solve something, but the sentence is about lacking patience for continuation, not understanding.
Thus, "follow through" is the most appropriate phrasal verb for this sentence.
I don't have the patience to ___follow through____ on that project.
