    • B.

    • D.

    Correct Answer(s)
    B. Pick me up, catch
    D. Pick me up, take
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "pick me up, catch". The phrase "pick me up" means to give someone a ride in a vehicle, usually by going to where they are and taking them to a different location. In this context, it implies that the person needs someone to come and get them from the station. The word "catch" means to board or get on a mode of transportation, such as a bus or train. Therefore, the sentence suggests that the person needs someone to pick them up because the train arrives too late for them to catch a bus home. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence.

    Correct Answer
    C. Take, catch
    Explanation
    In this sentence, the phrase "It's freezing outside!" indicates that the weather is very cold. The word "scarf" suggests that wearing a scarf can help keep a person warm in cold weather. The phrase "or you'll catch a cold" implies that not wearing a scarf could lead to getting sick. Therefore, the correct answer is "take, catch" because it suggests that one should take a scarf to protect themselves from catching a cold.

In this context, the person is complimenting the scarf and asking where the person acquired it. "Pick it up" implies that the person found the scarf on the ground, "catch it" suggests that the scarf was thrown or dropped and the person caught it, and "take it" implies that the person took the scarf without permission.
