 |

In a vain attempt to regain her youthful figure, she-----heavy things completely for about a month.
a cut off B.cut into C.cut down D.cut out
Here in the first analysis, B and C are definitely incorrect for the sentence.
Now, I am not sure if I should use A or D as the answer. Please could someone lend me a hand and explain why either one is being chosen as the answer. |

Happy New Year monicashen
The answer to your query is D: Cut Out, as in to stop eating heavy foods to help "her" maintain her weight and "youthful figure".
Hope that helps
Kindest regards
Scottish Tiger

It's cut out, because that means eliminate.
