Praxis 5362 Practice Question
Which TWO of the following questions contain a phrasal verb?
Correct Answer: A,B
Rationale: Phrasal verbs consist of a verb combined with one or more particles (prepositions or adverbs) that create a meaning different from the original verb.
Option A, "put out," refers to extinguishing something, making it a phrasal verb. Option B, "put up," means to provide someone with accommodation, also qualifying as a phrasal verb.
Options C and D, however, use "put" in a more straightforward sense without altering its meaning. In C, "put on" simply indicates placing the package down, and in D, "put in" refers to the act of placing the coat in a specific location, lacking the transformative aspect of a phrasal verb.
