Correct answer: A. She turned down his offer politely.
- A. She turned down his offer politely.
- B. She turned over his offer politely.
- C. She turned away his offer politely.
- D. She turned off his offer politely.
Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: 'She turned down his offer politely.' This phrase uses the phrasal verb 'turned down,' which means to reject or decline an offer in a polite manner. The other options do not correctly represent the action of rejecting an offer. Option B ('turned over') suggests flipping or changing rather than rejecting. Option C ('turned away') implies a physical action of moving away, and Option D ('turned off') suggests stopping a process rather than rejecting an offer. Thus, only Option A accurately conveys the intended meaning.
