THROW IN THE TOWEL I) After struggling with the project for months, she finally decided to throw in the towel and asked for help. II) After completing the marathon, he decided to throw in the towel and celebrate with his friends. III) Despite facing multiple failures, the entrepreneur refused to throw in the towel and kept pushing forward.Solution
The idiom "throw in the towel" means to give up or admit defeat, typically after facing challenges or failures. The 1st sentence indicates someone deciding to give up after struggling, which fits the idiom perfectly. Similarly the 3rd sentence accurately conveys someone refusing to give up despite difficulties, aligning with the idiom's proper use. But the idiom is wrongly used in 2nd sentence, as it refers to celebration after success, which contradicts its meaning.
