Question

in bold to correct the error, if there is any, and to make the sentence grammatically meaningful and correct. If the sentence is correct, then mark ‘No correction is required’, as the answer. We ran down of milk, so I need to buy some more.Solution

Ran off – escaped or left suddenly Ran at – charged toward something or someone aggressively Ran up – accumulated (like debt or expenses)
