Answer 1

Answer:

A. asked around

• "I asked around, but nobody has seen my wallet." / ഞാൻ ഒരുപാട് പേരോട് ചോദിച്ചു, പക്ഷേ ആരും എൻ്റെ വാലറ്റ് കണ്ടിട്ടില്ല.
• Asked around: This phrase means to inquire among multiple people in an attempt to get information (ഒന്നിലധികം ആളുകളോട് അന്വേഷിക്കുക). It fits perfectly with the context of looking for the wallet.
• Asked in: This phrase would mean to invite someone inside (ആരെയെങ്കിലും അകത്തേക്ക് ക്ഷണിക്കുക), which is not relevant to the context of searching for a wallet.
• Asked out: This phrase means to invite someone on a date (ഒരു dateന് പോവാൻ ആരെയെങ്കിലും ക്ഷണിക്കുക), which is not relevant to the context.
• Add up to: This phrase means to result in or total (ആകെത്തുകയാവുക), which is not relevant to the context of asking people about a lost wallet.
