EnglishUse of Phrasal Verbs
- Aplayed on
- Bflowed on
- Ccarried on
- Dcarried out

‘Carry on’ means to continue — the crowd carried on with its merry-making despite the rain. ‘Played on’ and ‘flowed on’ do not take ‘with its merry-making’, and ‘carried out’ means executed a task. Hence ‘carried on’ is correct.
