Choose the correct meaning of the Phrasal Verb used in the sentence.
My sister is putting up in the girls hostel these days.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → staying
A phrasal verb is a verb joined with a small word such as up, out or together. The two words together have a new meaning.
To put up (at or in a place) means to stay there for a short time, as a lodger or guest. "My sister is putting up in the girls hostel these days" means she is staying in the hostel for the present.
Example: During the conference we put up at a small hotel near the station.
