Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Choose the correct word/phrase to complete each sentence.
Every year we like to do _________ our house before Christmas.

A
with

B
in

C
for

D
over

Solution

Phrasal verbs are formed with a verb and a preposition or an adverb. They are idiomatic in meaning, which is: they have a meaning different from the literal meaning of their words.
Option D: 'Over' is a preposition that forms a phrasal verb 'do over our house'. This phrase 'do over something' means 'to decorate the house in a new way.' The meaning is relevant here, as the people 'we' like to 'decorate their house before Christmas'. Hence option D is correct.
Option A: 'With' forms a phrasal verb 'do with', which is used for saying that you want or need something. This meaning isn't relevant here.
Option B: 'In' means 'enclosed by walls or inside something'. It does not form any phrasal verb, and the words 'do in our house' don't have a complete meaning.
Option C: 'For' forms a phrasal verb 'do for', which means 'to defeat or ruin'. This meaning, too, isn't relevant here.
Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
