Given data

• Sentence to complete: Piyush behaves strangely at times and, therefore, nobody gets _____ with him.
• Options: about, through, along, up.

Concept/ApproachIn English idiom, the verb phrase get along with (someone) means to be on friendly terms or to have a harmonious relationship. Other prepositions (about, through, up) do not combine with get to produce this meaning.

Option analysisabout — get about means move around; does not fit the sense of relationships. ❌through — get through means finish or reach by phone; not about relationships. ❌along — get along with someone = have friendly relations; matches the context. ✅up — get up means rise; unrelated. ❌

Common pitfalls

• Confusing get along with get on. Both work in British English (get on with) but the test expects the American-standard get along with.
