Which one of the following phrasal verbs may be used in the blank space in the sentence, “I have to _____ (finish) this work before I leave tomorrow morning??
General EnglishVocabulary
- Aclear up
- Bclean up
- Cfinish up
- Ddo away with
Explanation
Finish up means to complete or bring to an end, which exactly matches the gloss (finish): I have to finish up this work before I leave tomorrow morning. Clear up means to tidy away or to resolve a confusion, clean up means to tidy, and do away with means to abolish, none of which mean finish. The stored key (clear up) does not fit the stated meaning, so the correct choice is Finish up (C).
