    E alerting others Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word ‘flaunt’ means ‘to show or make obvious something you are proud of in order to get admiration’. The phrase ‘show off’ means ‘to behave in a way that is intended to attract attention or admiration, and that other people often find annoying’ It can replace the underlined word. Take after- to be similar to an older member of your family in appearance or character. Work out- to understand something or to find the answer to something by thinking about it. Make up- to invent something, such as an excuse or a story, often in order to deceive.
