Answer
(B)
Explanation
Each response uses a phrasal verb with “up”, and each verb suits exactly one statement:
- P – 3: a house in a mess needs to be cleared up, that is, tidied.
- Q – 4: a complaint about marks is taken up (raised) with the teacher.
- R – 1: to someone who avoids politics, Kanishk promises not to bring it up (mention it).
- S – 2: an unknown word can be looked up in a dictionary.
This matching is P – 3; Q – 4; R – 1; S – 2.
