Option 1: put him down

Option 2: put him aside

Option 3: put up with him

Option 4: put along with him

AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

The blank needs a phrasal verb meaning to tolerate or endure someone despite their unpleasant behavior. Option 1 -> put him down -> means to criticize or humiliate someone, which is the opposite of tolerance. Option 2 -> put him aside -> means to set something apart or ignore, but doesn't convey enduring someone's presence. Option 3 -> put up with him -> means to tolerate or endure someone despite their annoying qualities. Option 4 -> put along with him -> is not a standard phrasal verb construction and sounds grammatically incorrect.

When you have to deal with that one annoying coworker who chews loudly and tells terrible jokes, you just have to put up with them. It means tolerating someone's irritating behavior because you don't have much choice in the matter - like enduring a long car ride with a chatty relative during family vacations.
