The distinction between phrasal verbs (verb + particle) and prepositional verbs (verb + preposition) is based on syntactic tests like particle movement. Based on the transitivity and separability of multi-word verbs, choose the CORRECT alternative.
- AThe manager decided to call off the meeting, but it would be ungrammatical to say "to call the meeting off" due to the fixed nature of the particle.
- BThe manager decided to call off the meeting, which can also be CORRECTLY phrased as "to call the meeting off" because it is a transitive phrasal verb.
- CThe manager decided to put up with the noise, which allows for the particle "up" to be moved after the object "noise" in formal writing.
- DThe manager decided to look after the files, which can also be CORRECTLY phrased as "to look the files after" because it is a prepositional verb.
