In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase(s) which best fills the gap(s).:
The price of everything seems to have … up in the last few months.
- climbed
- shot
-
risen
- flared
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
The phrasal verb "risen up" describes a general increase in prices or levels over time. "Shot up", on the other hand, refers to a dramatic increase and does not explain the rise in price over a period of time as the phrase "risen up" does.
