Answer options

  1. No improvement
  2. in
  3. down
  4. away

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: away

Explanation: The correct answer is D.✅ The correct phrasal verb is "broke away from" — which means to separate from a group, often suddenly or forcefully. In the sentence, the elephant left the herd, so “broke away from the herd” is idiomatic and precise. Corrected Sentence- "One of the baby elephants broke away from the herd and lost its way."
