    A absolutely blew off Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B absolutely blew away Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C absolutely blew over Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D absolutely blew up Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No improvement required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The phrasal verb "blew out" is incorrect in this context, as it typically means to extinguish or burst (like a tire). The correct phrasal verb is "blew away," which means to astonish or deeply impress someone. Blew off: This means to ignore or dismiss. Blew over: This means for something (usually a problem or issue) to subside or be forgotten. Blew up: This means to explode or become angry.
