Question

Choose the correct meaning of the following phrase:
Carry out.
a)Do something as required
b)Take out
c)Take away
d)Pick out

Answer 1

Hint: “Carry out” means to complete or accomplish something. For example, ‘She carried out the task of monitoring the students well.”

Complete step-by-step answer:

 Option d “pick out” means to choose something or to take something from somewhere/ from multiple things. For e.g. “Pick out the ripe mangoes from the basket.”This is not the same as the meaning of the phrase “carry out”. Thus, option ‘d’ is incorrect.
Option c “Take away” means to remove something from somewhere to transport it to a new location. For e.g. “I want you to take away all the books to your place and keep them until I shifty with you.” The meaning of the phrase is not the same as that of “carry out”. Thus, the option ‘c’ is incorrect.
Option b “Take out” means to get something into hold or possession by voluntary action. For e.g. “Take out all the unused clothes from your wardrobe, we’ll donate them to someone who actually needs them.”. The meaning of “take out” is not the same as that of “carry out”. Thus, option ‘b’ is incorrect.
Option a “Do something required” matches the meaning of the given phrase and therefore, the option ‘a’ is the correct answer. For example, “Carry out the tasks as mentioned in the schedule.” means to do the task as required.

Note: Carry out and take out are different phrases and have different meanings. Usage of taking out- ‘Take out all the red balls from the bag.’
