Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is 'to continue.'
Key Points
- The English phrase 'to keep on' is a phrasal verb that indicates the continuation of a specific activity or action over a period of time.
- It essentially means 'to persist in doing something,' 'to go on,' or simply 'to continue.'
- For example, if you say "keep on reading," you are instructing someone to continue the activity of reading.
Therefore, the correct answer is "option 1".
Additional Information
- 'To keep up' - Incorrect. While 'to keep up' does suggest the idea of continuation, it adds the nuance of maintaining pace with something else, which is not inherent in 'to keep on.'
- 'To hold' - Incorrect. Although 'to hold' implies maintaining a condition or status, it does not entail the persistence or continued action expressed by 'to keep on.'
- 'To have it' - Incorrect. This phrase has no relation to the continuous activity indicated by 'to keep on.' It predominantly refers to possessing or owning something and doesn't have the implication of continuation.
