ran out
ran out of
ran out on
ran off
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is A. ran out.
The other options are incorrect because:
- B. ran out of is grammatically correct, but it does not make sense in the context of the sentence. The sentence is about running out of petrol, not running out of something else.
- C. ran out on is grammatically correct, but it has a different meaning than the other options. It means to abandon someone or something.
- D. ran off is grammatically correct, but it has a different meaning than the other options. It means to leave quickly and suddenly.
The sentence “Sorry I’m late. My car ran out of petrol” means that the person is late because their car stopped running because it ran out of petrol.
