Phrasal verbs consist of a verb plus a particle (preposition or adverb) and often exhibit semantic opacity, posing challenges for learners regarding separability and transitivity. Regarding the syntactic rules of phrasal verbs, mark T for true and F for false:


(__) "Look up" (meaning to search for information) is a transitive separable phrasal verb, allowing the object to be placed between the verb and the particle (e.g., "Look the word up").

(__) "Run into" (meaning to meet by chance) is a transitive inseparable phrasal verb, meaning the object must follow the particle (e.g., "I ran into him", not "I ran him into").

(__) "Wake up" is exclusively intransitive and can never take a direct object in any context.

(__) If the object of a separable phrasal verb is a pronoun (e.g., it, them), it must be placed between the verb and the particle (e.g., "Turn it on", not "Turn on it").


After analysis, select the alternative that presents the correct sequence of the items above, from top to bottom:


A

T, F, F, T.


B

T, T, T, T.


C

T, T, F, T.


D

F, T, T, F.
