Idioms: Try it Yourself

[Page 27 of 28]

Task: Identify the correct preposition to complete the sentence in each of the following sentences.

1. Rajani is coming with me to pick __________ the food order that I phoned in.

out up

"Out" can't be right, based on the rest of the sentence. One can pick out a movie and be grammatically correct, but one picks up an order. Sorry, there's really nothing more to explain, because there's no reason why this (or any other) idiom behaves in a certain way. It just does.

Notice too that we phone orders "in". Why? 'Cause we do.
