Discussion
Nobody knows how the Indian cricket team is going to cope with the difficult and seamer-friendly wickets in Australia.
Choose the option which is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase in the above sentence.
Answer: A
The closest meaning of cope with is put up with.
To cope with something is to deal with or endure a difficulty, here the difficult, seamer-friendly pitches in Australia. Put up with means to tolerate or endure something unpleasant, which is the same sense.
Put in with is not a standard phrase with a relevant meaning. Put down to means to attribute something to a cause (“he put his failure down to bad luck”). Put up against means to set someone in competition with another, not to endure a condition.
