- A. The workers carried on the protest despite the warning.
- B. The workers carried into the protest despite the warning.
- C. The workers carried away the protest despite the warning.
- D. The workers carried over the protest despite the warning.
Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: 'The workers carried on the protest despite the warning.' This option correctly uses the verb phrase 'carried on,' which means to continue an activity despite challenges. The other options are incorrect because they use verb phrases that do not appropriately convey the meaning of continuing to participate in a protest. Option B uses 'carried into,' which is not a standard expression for participating in a protest. Option C's 'carried away' suggests physically removing the protest, which changes the meaning entirely. Option D's 'carried over' implies a sense of postponement rather than active participation.
