Solve this multiple-choice question and check the correct answer with its explanation below.

Answer options

  1. want
  2. ask
  3. call
  4. order

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: call

Explanation: The blank requires a verb that fits the phrasal verb '_______ out' in the context of 'He wanted to _______ out,' suggesting an action he intended to perform. 'Call out' is the correct phrasal verb, meaning to shout, summon, or draw attention to something, which is a common expression that fits the sentence structure. want ❌: 'Want out' is not a standard phrasal verb and doesn’t fit the context. ask ❌: 'Ask out' means to invite someone on a date, which is specific and unlikely here. call ✅: 'Call out' means to shout or summon, suitable for the context. order ❌: 'Order out' means to request food delivery, less fitting without food context. Correct Answer: C. call
