Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. The volunteer gave on to.
"Give on to" is an incorrect phrasal verb.
The verb "give" is a transitive verb, which means it requires a direct object to complete its meaning. In this sentence, "the food packets" is the direct object, and the recipient (the children of the orphanage) follows the verb.
The correct structure for this sentence is:
"gave [object] to [recipient]."
Hence, the correct sentence is:- The volunteer gave the food packets to the children of the orphanage.
