Choose the appropriate option to complete the following sentence:

"Did you notice how the students _________ at the last moment ? That really riled me up."

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

'Backed out' means to withdraw from a commitment, which explains why the speaker was riled up when students did so at the last moment. 'Worked up' means agitated, 'laid off' means dismissed from work, and 'kept up' means maintained; none fits withdrawing suddenly.
