Easy

Select the most appropriate phrase to complete the following sentence:

The athlete worked hard to _____ for the upcoming championship.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> "Catch up" means to reach someone's level or compensate for lost time, which doesn't fit the context of preparing for a future event.

Option 2 -> "Get ready" means to prepare or make oneself prepared, which is exactly what an athlete would do before a championship.

Option 3 -> "Pull through" means to survive or recover from a difficult situation, implying hardship rather than preparation.

Option 4 -> "Slow down" means to reduce pace or speed, which contradicts the idea of working hard for a competition.

Hence, Option 2: get ready -> An athlete naturally works hard to prepare and get ready for an upcoming championship, making this the most appropriate and contextually fitting phrase -> correct
