EnglishFill in the Blanks
- Ayielded in
- Bgave in
- Ccowed in
- Dagreed in
Explanation
'Give in to' is the idiom for surrendering to pressure: 'he ultimately gave in to her wish.' 'Yielded in' (A) is not idiomatic ('yield to' is), 'cowed in' (C) is ungrammatical, and 'agreed in' (D) makes no sense. Hence the answer is B.
