Question on phrasal noun examples
We have a question on phrasal nouns. Could you give us a hand? Here are the two ideas:

Complete the sentence using the correct phrasal noun:
"The team had a quick ___ before the big presentation."
(Options: run-up, break-out, take-off)

Match the phrasal noun to its definition:
a) Breakdown
b) Set-up
c) Run-through
i. A quick rehearsal or practice
ii. An arrangement or structure
iii. A failure or collapse

Would love some guidance on this!

Sure thing, Milena! Let’s tackle these questions step by step. 😊

1. Complete the Sentence

Question: "The team had a quick ___ before the big presentation."
(Options: run-up, break-out, take-off)

The correct answer is run-through (instead of run-up).

  • A run-through is a quick rehearsal or practice. It fits perfectly because the team is preparing for the presentation.
    Answer: "The team had a quick run-through before the big presentation."

2. Match the Phrasal Noun to its Definition

Options:
a) Breakdown
b) Set-up
c) Run-through

Definitions:
i. A quick rehearsal or practice
ii. An arrangement or structure
iii. A failure or collapse

Here’s the correct matching:

  • a) Breakdown → iii (A failure or collapse)
    Example: "The engine had a breakdown during the race."
  • b) Set-up → ii (An arrangement or structure)
    Example: "The set-up for the experiment took hours."
  • c) Run-through → i (A quick rehearsal or practice)
    Example: "Let’s do one last run-through before the concert."

Final Answers Recap:

  1. Sentence Completion: run-through
  2. Matching:
    • a) Breakdown → iii
    • b) Set-up → ii
    • c) Run-through → i
