Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: B. gave, held
The Deputy Manager gave up, to resign because all his proposals were held down by his superiors.
- Gave up means to stop trying to do something because you think it is impossible or too difficult.
- Held down means to prevent someone from doing something or to keep them in a low position.
The other options are incorrect because they do not make sense in the context of the sentence.
- Offered means to present something to someone for them to accept or reject.
- Began means to start doing something.
- Willing means to be prepared or happy to do something.
- Knocked means to hit something with your fist or a hard object.
- Threatened means to say that you will hurt someone or do something bad to them if they do not do what you want.
