Fill in the blank by adding the correct phrasal verbs given as options.

We had to ___ the party to another day owing to the sudden turn of events.

• A. Put on
• B. Put in
• C. Put out
• D. Put off

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Put off

• “Put off” means to postpone or delay something.

• The sentence implies the party is being moved to another day, so “put off” fits perfectly.

👉 Complete sentence:
“We had to put off the party to another day owing to the sudden turn of events.”

❌ Why others are incorrect:

• Put on – to wear or to organize (not about postponing)

• Put in – to insert or invest time/effort

• Put out – to extinguish or inconvenience
