Which one is correct?
Correct answer: A. She called off the meeting because of rain.
- A. She called off the meeting because of rain.
- B. She called over the meeting because of rain.
- C. She called in the meeting because of rain.
- D. She called up the meeting because of rain.
Explanation
The correct option is 'She called off the meeting because of rain.' The phrase 'called off' is a phrasal verb that means to cancel something, which fits the context of the meeting being canceled due to rain. The other options use different phrasal verbs that do not imply cancellation: 'called over' suggests inviting someone to come, 'called in' usually refers to reporting or informing, and 'called up' involves making a phone call. Therefore, only the first option accurately conveys the intended action in this scenario.
