I hope that the rain will _______ for our picnic tomorrow.
EnglishFill in the Blanks
- Akeep off
- Bput off
- Cset back
- Dstay out
Explanation
The hope is that the rain stays away for the picnic, and 'keep off' means to stay away. 'Put off' means postpone (one postpones the picnic, not the rain), 'set back' means delay or reverse, and 'stay out' is intransitive and does not fit this construction. Hence (a) is correct.
