Question

Option 1: dropped out

Option 2: dropped off

Option 3: fell behind

Option 4: fell through

AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

The blank needs a phrasal verb meaning to fail or be cancelled unexpectedly. Option 1 -> dropped out -> means to withdraw from something voluntarily, not about plans failing. Option 2 -> dropped off -> means to decrease gradually or to deliver something, not about plans failing. Option 3 -> fell behind -> means to lag or not keep up with schedule, not about complete failure. Option 4 -> fell through -> means to fail to happen or be cancelled, especially when something was planned.

When your carefully planned weekend trip to the beach suddenly falls through because of bad weather, it means your plans have completely collapsed or failed to materialize. It's like watching a house of cards tumble down - everything you arranged just doesn't happen as expected.
