Question

“Hand Over”
A. Help out
B. Give in
C. Transmit
D. Give up
E. Make over

Answer 1

Hint: A phrase is a group of two words that stands together as a single unit, typically as a part of a clause or a sentence. Eight common types of phrases are: noun, verb, gerund, infinitive, appositive, participial, prepositional and absolute.

Complete answer:
Option A) Help out: is an incorrect answer because it does not express the meaning of the “hand over”. Hand over means to pass or delegate a responsibility to someone else and “Help out” means to provide help when someone is in need.
Option B) Give in: is an incorrect answer because it does not express the meaning of the “Hand over”. Give in means to stop competing or arguing and accept that you cannot win.
Option C) Transmit: is a correct answer because it refers to transferring something to someone else. It expresses the same meaning of the phrase “Hand over”. “Hand over” means to delegate\transfer to something else. It is the correct meaning of the given phrase “Hand over”.
Option D) Give up: is an incorrect answer because it means to cease doing or to cease control over something. It does not express the same meaning of the phrase “Hand over”.
Option E) Make Over: is an incorrect answer because it is the process of improving the appearance of the person, place, thing, etc. to make it look more attractive than before.

Hence, option (C) is the correct option.

Note: Since the question is about asking a phrase “Hand over”. It means to pass or delegate a responsibility to someone else. So, the correct option is D. And it is important to know that Give up means to cease something and to pass someone else.
