Then, you compare your word to the answer choices:

(A) Graduated from college (B) Stopped attending secondary school (C) Scattered sheet music on the street (D) Dropped by his school frequently The correct answer is (B). The answer closest in meaning to “quit” or “withdrew from.” Choice (A) is incorrect, because college is not mentioned in the sentence. Choice (C) is incorrect, because the sentence is not about sheet music. Choice (D) is incorrect and a tricky one, because “dropped out” is close in sound to “dropped by,” which means visited.
