Let’s now see if you are able to remember the phrasal verbs I have gone through. For each question, there are four options given but there is only one correct answer. Remember to use the clues within each sentence to help you pick the answer accurately!

Question 2

Question 3

- cutting off
- cutting in
- cutting down
