Correct Answer
B. TakeExplanation
The word "brollie" in the sentence suggests that the speaker is referring to an umbrella. The phrase "take my brollie with me" implies that the speaker should have brought or carried their umbrella with them. The other options, bring, fetch, and send, do not accurately convey the idea of physically carrying the umbrella. Therefore, the correct answer is "take".Rate this question:
