My car accidentally went over a small dog.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Correct Answer: Ran over
Explanation
Run over is the correct phrasal verb meaning to hit someone or something with a vehicle and drive over them. In the past tense, it becomes ran over.
Go over means to review, examine, or rehearse something carefully, which makes no sense in this context.
Pass up on means to decline or miss an opportunity, and drive on means to continue driving without stopping.
Example:
The bus stopped abruptly to avoid running over a stray cat.
