IPMAT Indore 2025 · Verbal Ability · Question 1
IPMAT Indore 2025 previous year question on Idioms and Phrases, with the answer and a step-by-step solution.
- Aput him down
- Bput him aside
- Cput up with him
- Dput along with him
Answer & solution
Answer: Option C
What the sentence needs. The “but” signals a contrast: he is unpleasant, yet we keep company with him anyway. We need a phrase meaning to tolerate something unpleasant.
The phrasal verb. Put up with = endure or tolerate without complaining. It fits exactly.
Why the others fail:
Option | Meaning | Problem |
|---|---|---|
put him down | to belittle or criticise | reverses the sense — we would be insulting him |
put him aside | to set something apart for later | used of objects or issues, not of tolerating people |
put along with him | — | not an English idiom at all; a blend of put up with and get along with |
Answer: Option 3 — put up with him
