Don’t hold this dirty insect in your hand; throw it .

a) throw it away

b) throw it down

c) throw it out

d) No improvement

Discuss »

Answer: (c)

To give a complete sense to the sentence there must be something after ‘throw’. To consider the correct option let us consider all the options one by one. a) ‘Throw down’ means ‘throw on the ground’. b) ‘Throw out’ means ‘throw something outside something’. c) ‘Throw away’ means ‘throw something very quickly’. Here, in the light of the meaning of the sentence, the dirty insect is thrown away very quickly.

Therefore, it should be ‘throw it away’ in place of ‘throw it’.
