Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct matching of the phrasal verbs with their meanings is:
List - I | List – II
(A) Pull down | (III) demolish a structure
(B) Pull through | (IV) recover from illness
(C) Bring round | (II) to make one agree
(D) Taken aback | (I) be surprised
Here's why:
- Pull down typically refers to the physical act of demolishing or destroying a structure.
- Pull through usually indicates overcoming a difficult situation, particularly illness.
- Bring round often means to persuade or convince someone, hence "to make one agree."
- Taken aback implies surprise or shock, usually in a negative way.
