One string was handed ________ by the musician to the shopkeeper for repair.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. over.

  • In this sentence the action involving the musician giving a string to the shopkeeper for repair.

  • The phrasal verb "hand over" means to give something to someone, typically after being asked for it or as part of a transaction.

  • It is commonly used when transferring possession of an item from one person to another.

  • The word "over" in this context indicates the transfer of the string from the musician to the shopkeeper. 

So, the word "over" is the most suitable filler in the sentence to accurately convey the intended meaning and maintain proper grammar, as it correctly forms the phrasal verb "handed over" in this context.
