SSC CGL Tier II - 26 October 2023 • English • Q67

Select the most appropriate phrasal verb to fill in the blank.

 _________ that thought. It will be a great idea someday

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Hold onto.

The most appropriate phrasal verb is "Hold onto" because it means to keep or retain something, such as a thought or idea, for future consideration.

In the context of the sentence, it suggests preserving the thought for future use.

The other options are less suitable: "Hold to" and "Hold against" do not fit the context of retaining a thought, while "Hold on" generally means to wait or grasp something, which does not convey the idea of keeping a thought for future reference.
