Question

Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence :

As soon as Gita opened the umbrella, a scorpion fell about of it.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

fell out of

The sentence needs the correct phrasal verb describing the scorpion dropping from inside the umbrella.

'fell out of' means dropped from inside something, which exactly fits an object coming out of an umbrella.

So the correct reading is 'a scorpion fell out of it'.

Therefore option 3 is correct.

'fell up from' is illogical, since falling is downward, not upward.

'fell off from' is redundant and non-standard, mixing 'off' and 'from'.

'fallen down of' uses the wrong verb form ('fallen') and an incorrect preposition.

Hence the most suitable replacement is fell out of.
