Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. annoyed me and I blew up.
"Blew into" - This expression is not a standard or idiomatic way of conveying a strong reaction. It doesn't effectively communicate the idea of reacting with intensity or anger.
"Blew up" - This is an idiomatic expression meaning to react with sudden anger, frustration, or explosive emotion.
In this given context, "blew up" conveys a more natural and commonly used expression for reacting strongly to Mahesh's attitude, making the corrected option more appropriate.
Corrected sentence: Mahesh's attitude annoyed me, and I blew up.
