Fill in the blank: “Abdul grabbed the boy and rolled him on the ground to _______ the flames.”
(A) Fizz out
(B) Smother
(C) Burn out
(D) Encourage
Correct option is (B) Smother. The word “smother” is correct because it means to extinguish or suffocate a fire by depriving it of oxygen. Rolling someone on the ground helps to cover the flames cutting off their supply and effectively putting out the fire. The other options do not accurately define this method of extinguishing flames.
