Grammar: Phrasal Verb

Question:

Choose the most appropriate meaning of the underlined phrasal verb from the given options :

We talked over the phone about the party.

Options:

discussed

happen

solved

occupies

Correct Answer:

discussed

Explanation:

The most appropriate meaning of the underlined phrasal verb "talked over" is:

Option 1: discussed

Here's why:

  • Discussed implies a conversation where you explore a topic, share ideas, and consider different aspects. This aligns perfectly with the context of talking about a party on the phone.
  • Happen doesn't make sense in this context. It refers to something occurring, not a conversation.
  • Solved suggests finding a solution, which might not be the goal of simply talking about a party.
  • Occupies means to take up space or time, not to have a conversation.
