EnglishFill in the Blanks
- Aput over with
- Bput on with
- Cput up with
- Dput up to
Explanation
'Put up with' is the fixed phrasal verb meaning to tolerate or endure - the teachers will no longer tolerate the headmaster's ways. 'Put over with' is not a standard phrasal verb; 'put on with' is meaningless here; 'put up to' means to incite someone to mischief. Hence put up with, option C, is correct.
