He paid his debts ________ to the last penny.
EnglishFill in the Blanks
- Adown
- Bover
- Cfull
- Dfully
Explanation
The idiom is 'down to the last penny', meaning completely, with nothing left unpaid — 'pay down' is the standard collocation for clearing debts. 'Over to the last penny' is not an idiom; 'full' is an adjective and cannot modify the verb 'paid'. Prepp.in and askfilo both confirm 'down' for this exact sentence. Hence (A).
