Question 3
1 / -0

Choose the correct word or phrase to complete the sentence.

He _________ a huge treasure during his travels in the East.

A
Came into

B
Came to

C
Came for

D
Came by

Solution

Phrasal verbs are phrases, formed with a verb and a preposition or an adverb. The meaning thus formed is different from its literal meaning.
Option D: 'Came by' is a phrasal verb. It means 'to gain possession of'.
It fits the sentence in meaning, that 'he gained possession of a huge treasure during his travels'.
Hence option D is correct.
Option A: 'Came into'. If you 'came into something', it means that something became yours after its previous owner died.
The meaning isn't relevant to the sentence, as it does not mention someone's death.
Option B: 'Came to'. If something came to you, it means that you thought of it or remembered it. For example, 'the idea came to me while I was away on vacation'.
This phrase, too, does not complete the meaning of the sentence.
Option C: 'Came for' is not a phrasal verb and does not complete the sentence in meaning.
Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
