    Solution

    The phrasal verb "carried off" means to succeed in doing something difficult, which does not fit the context of executing a plan. The correct phrase should be "carried out," which means to execute or implement a plan or task.Carried on – Means to continue doing something (e.g., "She carried on with her work despite the noise.").Carried over – Means to transfer something to another time or situation (e.g., "The unused leave days were carried over to the next year.").Carried through – Means to complete something successfully, often despite difficulties (e.g., "His determination carried him through tough times.").
