Choose the correct sentence.
Correct answer: B. The workers called off a strike.
- A. The workers called in a strike.
- B. The workers called off a strike.
- C. The workers called on a strike.
- D. The workers called over a strike.
Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: The workers called off a strike. This sentence accurately uses the verb phrase 'called off,' meaning to cancel or end the strike, which is the intended meaning. The other options are incorrect because:Option A uses 'called in,' suggesting notifying rather than ending the strike.Option C uses 'called on,' which implies asking someone to take action, not related to the strike.Option D uses 'called over,' which is vague and does not convey a clear action regarding the strike.Thus, Option B is the only one that correctly reflects the action of the workers.
