Fill in the blank with suitable preposition. He put ___ his departure for a week. Option 1: down Option 2: off Option 3: of Option 4: on

Answer: off. Solution: 'Down' generally means to place something on a surface, which doesn't fit here. 'Off' correctly conveys the meaning of postponement, which is needed in this context. 'Of' is incorrect grammatically and semantically in this context. 'On' typically means to begin something, which is the opposite of postponing.
