Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: I will put on
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
This item checks idiomatic verb–preposition usage in formal office English.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
In administrative usage, ‘‘put up a note’’ means to submit it to a superior for orders. ‘‘Put on’’ is incorrect in this sense and collocates instead with clothing, devices, or performances.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Identify intended meaning: submit a note.Check phrasal verb: ‘‘put on’’ ≠ submit; correct is ‘‘put up’’ (or ‘‘put in’’).Corrected sentence: ‘‘I will put up a note in this regard for your consideration and necessary decision.’’
Verification / Alternative check:
Replace with a clear verb: ‘‘I will submit a note…’’ confirms that ‘‘put on’’ is wrong but ‘‘put up’’ matches intended function.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Over-generalizing ‘‘put on’’ to any context; confusing ‘‘put up a notice’’ with ‘‘put up a note’’ (both acceptable in different senses).
Final Answer:
I will put on
